Juvenile delinquency is a complex social issue with significant consequences for individuals, families, and societies. Juvenile delinquency is a pressing social concern that affects societies worldwide. In India, it poses significant challenges due to the country's large and diverse youth population. Juvenile delinquency refers to the involvement of minors in illegal activities, ranging from petty crimes to more serious offenses. Understanding the underlying causes and risk factors associated with juvenile delinquency is crucial for formulating effective policies and interventions to prevent and address this issue. The significance of studying juvenile delinquency in India lies in its potential impact on various aspects of society, such as public safety, educational outcomes, and future workforce productivity. Addressing this problem can help create a positive environment that nurtures the potential of the youth, safeguards their rights, and contributes to a more secure and prosperous nation. This research paper aims to explore the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency in India, with a focus on understanding the contributing factors and the implications for policy and intervention strategies. Through a comprehensive literature review, analysis of available data, and examination of relevant case studies, this study identifies key risk factors associated with juvenile delinquency and highlights the importance of preventive measures and rehabilitative programs in addressing this issue effectively. The findings emphasize the need for a multi-dimensional approach involving collaboration between various stakeholders to create a safer and more inclusive society for India's youth.
