India's Young People And Criminal Behavior

Abstract

In any country, adolescent delinquency is a serious transgression that impedes social progress. Around the world, the number of teenage crimes is on the rise, with the young playing an increasingly larger role in vicious crimes. Adolescents in India are
committing more and more heinous crimes at an ever-increasing rate. It's a major source of concern for the country, therefore finding solutions is something that should be approached with caution. As a response to these trends, India's general set of laws as well as its legal executive has made several changes to teenage equity in India. This paper aims to examine the causes of adolescent misconduct and the explanations given by researchers from many professions to better understand the issue. Teenagers' involvement in horrific crimes is increasing as evidenced by the study of information that is readily available at actual crime scenes. The Act on Juvenile Delinquency in India has been amended to treat juveniles who commit heinous wrongdoing as adults in order to address the problem of adolescent misconduct.
