Abstract The present study examines the relationship between family environment and psychological behaviour among children in conflict with law, with a focus on understanding how socio-familial conditions influence juvenile delinquency. The objective of this research paper is to analyse the impact of family environment on psychological behavioural patterns of juveniles and to assess implications for the juvenile justice system.
The study was conducted in Indore district of Madhya Pradesh, India. A total of 50 children in conflict with law, aged between 10 To 18 years, were selected through purposive sampling from observation homes. A descriptive research design was adopted and primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire, the Family Environment Scale, and a Psychological Behaviour Assessment Scale. Secondary data were gathered from legal documents, research articles, and relevant literature on juvenile justice.
The findings reveal that children coming from disturbed, conflict-prone, and neglectful family environments show higher levels of aggression, anxiety, emotional instability, and antisocial behaviour. A significant relationship was observed between adverse family environment and poor psychological adjustment among juveniles.
The study concludes that juvenile delinquency is strongly influenced by socio-psychological conditions rather than individual behaviour alone. It emphasizes the need for strengthening family support systems, psychological counselling, and rehabilitative interventions within the juvenile justice framework to ensure effective reintegration of children into society.
Keywords Children in Conflict with Law, Family Environment, Psychological Behaviour, Juvenile Justice, Socio-Psychological Factors.
