Purpose: This paper examines the character and causes of juvenile delinquency in India, including the social, economic, and cultural factors that contribute to this issue. The study investigates the various types of criminal behaviour exhibited by juveniles, such as theft, drug abuse, and violent crimes, as well as the repercussions of such conduct on society.
Research implication: This analysis of juvenile delinquency and criminal behaviour in India provides valuable insights into the character and causes of the problem and suggests potential solutions.
Findings: The research findings indicate that poverty, lack of education, fractured families, peer pressure, and exposure to violence are significant contributors to juvenile delinquency in India. The study also emphasises the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving the cooperation of parents, schools, communities, law enforcement agencies, and the judiciary in order to effectively address this issue.
Originality/ Value: The paper also examines the institutional and legal frameworks in place to address juvenile delinquency in India, including the Juvenile Justice Act and the function of the juvenile justice system. The study emphasises the lack of ultimatum and constraint in the justice system's approach to juvenile delinquency and suggests potential strategies for preventing and reducing such conduct.
