Juvenile Delinquency in India: A Socio-Legal Aspect

Author(s) Dr. Anamika
Country India
Abstract Juvenile delinquency in India is a complex social and legal issue shaped by various factors, including poverty, family breakdown, peer influences, lack of education, urban growth, and social exclusion. This research paper looks into this issue from multiple academic viewpoints, incorporating both sociological and legal analyses to explore its causes, effects, and the responses from institutions. It traces the changes in juvenile justice laws, starting with the Juvenile Justice Act of 1986, followed by the updates in 2000 and 2015, and evaluates how international agreements like the UNCRC have influenced India's legal system. The paper assesses important bodies such as Juvenile Justice Boards, Child Welfare Committees, observation homes, NGOs, and government initiatives to determine how effectively they aid rehabilitation and reintegration. It reviews judicial methods that balance reformative and punitive approaches through significant Supreme Court decisions. The research shows that, even though legal measures prioritize rehabilitation, persistent issues such as poor infrastructure, slow legal processes, and societal stigma continue to be challenges. Lastly, the paper suggests policy changes to enhance preventive, corrective, and rehabilitative efforts to support child welfare and minimize repeat offenses.
