There
has to be more attention paid to the rising incidence of adolescent criminality
in India. The government has implemented several laws and regulations aimed at
curbing juvenile crime, but these laws have had little impact on deterring
young people from committing misdemeanours, hence the government's goals have
been unfulfilled. Even when a kid is born with no criminal tendencies, their
minds may become corrupted by societal and environmental variables such as a
lack of parental care and direction.A safe environment should be given to all
children so that they may grow up to be productive and responsible members of
society. Government and society, as well as the kid's parents, must ensure that
the youngster is physically healthy, socially engaged, and psychologically
aware, so that he or she may contribute positively to society instead of
becoming a criminal.
It
is the responsibility of the government to rectify and reform juvenile
offenders rather than punish them, and each nation has its own juvenile justice
statute for this purpose. The term "juvenile" refers to a person
under the age of 18 Years who is not considered an adult by the legislation of
the nation in which he lives. Juvenile delinquency laws vary from nation to country.
In
our opinion, a child's mental condition is different from an adult's when they
commit a crime, and as a result, they must be treated with care. All of the
things that a child needs to grow up as a responsible member of society may be
provided for them by the government and society, including love and kindness
and the removal of the criminal attitude and reintegration into regular life.
Even
if every nation has a Juvenile Justice Act that has been updated to be more
current and specific, the government and the community must work together to
prevent juvenile crime, and the Juvenile Justice Act must be effectively
implemented. Efforts must be made to reduce juvenile crime, as well as to
identify and address the causes of the increase in juvenile crime.
