CRIMINOLOGICAL VIEWS ON JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN INDIA

Law

Children are regarded as a society's most valuable asset. They are the guardians of all the aspirations that grownups see and hope to see realised in the future. Families and society as a whole are responsible for the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of children and teenagers, but lack of social control, biophysical adventures, acculturation, and other factors can lead to deviance in their behaviour, which can range from minor infractions to heinous crimes. When the perpetrators are minors, the concept of juvenile delinquency comes into play. The purpose of this study is to examine the juvenile justice system through the prism of societal needs, and then to suggest modern demands. It would be beneficial for the reader to grasp the various levels of juvenile justice, beginning with the definition of a juvenile, which is studied both sociologically and legally. It is simple to assess the causes of juvenile delinquency if you have a basic awareness of the history, theories, and causes of crime. The primary focus of this study is the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, which is India's primary juvenile justice legislation at the moment.
