Abstract

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men” Fredrick Douglass Every society faces many social problems, among them, Juvenile Delinquency is a serious one. As society moves ahead towards development, this problem is increasing rapidly. Juvenile Delinquency is an antisocial and criminal behavior committed by a person who is under the age of 18. In this competitive era, society is moving rapidly fast in search of urbanization and industrialization. In India, it is a major issue that causes many people of very young age to have their lives destroyed. Juvenile crime and associated issues have a negative impact on youth, their families, and the entire society. The issue not only affects the victims of the crime, but also the families, futures, and society at large of the juvenile offenders. The juvenile offenders not only put their lives at risk of destruction but also put their family at the helm of law. The socioeconomic and psychological issues that young offenders face, which have an impact on their families and society, are the most severe consequences. Juveniles participating in robberies, rapes, and assaults occasionally play a big role due to psychological issues. The juveniles develop a habit of using alcohol or other substances because of these unlawful acts. This research paper deals with the issues and causes related to child delinquency in India, further it aims to investigate the psychological aspects of the prevalence of adolescent delinquency. Young people who commit significant crimes put their future in jeopardy to protest perceived abuses that have been done to them. They experience psychological depression as a result, which manifests in increased criminal activity.
