JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IN INDIA
ABSTRACT
Crime rate is day by day increasing in India and the most shocking trend that can be noticed
is that it is upheaving among Juveniles too. Criminal cases of all sorts ranging from thefts to
murder or smuggling to sexual crimes are committed by them. Juvenile are humans below the
age of 18. We are constantly reminded that there are problems with juvenile violence. Nightly
we hear of shootings in communities and even in our schools. Increasing levels of juvenile
violence are a national concern. The concern has focused on punishment, but very little on
prevention or intervention.
The future of our world depends on responsible citizens who possess the ability to express
and resolve conflicts while working together for civic improvement. Juvenile Justice Act is

due to some influential factors. They are sent to Juvenile homes where many services are
provided such as health, education or vocational training so that they could live a healthy life
when completed with punishment years.
