Juvenile delinquency is a problem that has always existed in society. It happens in both simple and complex societies. Criminal activity or offences committed by kids, youth, or a juvenile is known as juvenile delinquency. As they would be for adults, these actions do not fall under the category of "crimes." Delinquent acts, on the other hand, are crimes committed by minors or adolescents. The rate of adolescent delinquency has significantly increased in emerging nations like India during the past ten years. It is not just a legal issue; the psychological, sociological and familial aspects of the issue must be considered. The offences may be of different tendencies like status offences and delinquent offences. Children who commit crimes are not only the perpetrators of the crime but also the victims of this broken society. If proper precautions are taken at home and in school, juvenile delinquency can be stopped at an early age. Children's minds need to be nurtured and shaped, and parents and teachers play a big part in that. The required procedures should be done to provide the young offenders with a scope of correction rather than designating them delinquents. It is important to alert them as soon as possible to any social or psychological faults they have made.
