Critical Analysis and A Study of Juvenile Justice in India

Abstract

Children are regarded as the state's most valuable resource on a global scale. A state's future lies in the hands of its children, who are regarded as its most valuable resources. However, due of the indifferences in our society as a whole, these young people aren't treated with respect, which leads to child delinquency. Children or delinquency is a problem that is frighteningly becoming worse and is causing worry all around the world. In Asia, children should be the primary focus of development planning, research, and welfare; regrettably, this has not been the case. The majority of children in Asian countries continue to live without receiving the care, protection, and meaningful childhood that the Constitution envisions for a healthy, happy child who is protected from abuse and exploitation. 1 The Convention on the Rights of the Child lists the following as basic children's rights: These rights include the right to health and care, the right to protection from abuse, the right to protection from exploitation, the right to protection from neglect, as well as the right to information, the right to expression, and the right to nutrition, among others. India could be a founding member of the World Organization Declaration on the Rights of the Child, 1959. In order to ensure that its children have the rights mentioned above in addition to others, an Asian nation created a national policy on children in 1974.2 The Union Parliament established the country's first comprehensive juvenile justice law in 1986, establishing an equal juvenile justice system across the board.
