Download or read book Children and Crime in India written by Saju Parackal and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a sociological exploration of street children in India and what pulls and pushes them into delinquency, at a time when the government of India is contemplating strengthening its juvenile justice system. It draws on in-depth, qualitative research carried out by an NGO which included unstructured and structured interviews with over 600 children as well as stakeholders. Through the stories of Indian children, this book examines the major factors which together play a crucial role in their engagement in deviant behaviour as they grow up. However, the authors argue that they should not be viewed not as a dangerous threat but as the country’s most valuable resource. The authors conclude that a punitive strategy may not be the best option, advocating instead for a focus on restorative justice which has been found to be effective and beneficial alongside other strategies which help strengthen families and enhance parenting skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book delves into an in-depth study of the Juvenile Justice System prevailing in India. In order to evaluate the current system, it is crucial to understand the meaning and definition of closely-associated terms like juvenile delinquency, children in need of care and protection, centres for their reforms and rehabilitation, etc. While the above terms are elaborated, the development of the Juvenile Justice laws in India over the years has been discussed. Further, the various factors compelling juveniles towards delinquency are highlighted, contemplating the views and theories of different scholars. The judgements of various courts and the ratio decidendi of landmark judgements have been accentuated to reach out to the present juvenile laws and legislations. The emergence of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 has been reviewed while critically evaluating the JJA 2000. The Institutions under Indian Juvenile Justice System have been speculated upon along with the incidents of victimisation of juveniles in such institutions. A case study has been conducted over the inmates of an Observation Home in South Rajasthan. In this discussion, the staff members revealed the reasons for admission of a juvenile, their opinions on the juvenile residents, authorities, etc., and also their attributions the reasons for their delinquencies. Ultimately, suggestive reforms for improving the Juvenile Justice System have been elaborated upon.
