INDEX

NIKITA SHANDILYA

In simple terms, Delinquency means the failure of a child to meet certain obligations expected by society. Delinquency is an act or conduct of a juvenile that is socially undesirable. It is also been defined as “a child trying to act like a grown-up.”

INTRODUCTION

PRIYANKA SACHAN

A delinquent child is a child of a certain age, who has violated a criminal law or engaged in disobedient, indecent, or immoral conduct. Juvenile delinquency, also known as "juvenile offending", is the act of participating in unlawful behavior as a minor or individual younger than the statutory age of majority. Juvenile crimes can range from status offenses (such as underage smoking/drinking) to property crimes and violent crimes.

MEANING OF DELINQUENT CHILD

Juvenile delinquency does not occur suddenly, rather there are a series of incidents that cause violent behavior in teenagers.

New signs of violence - Death of a loved one - Increase in aggressive behavior - Increase in risk-taking behavior - Deterioration of mental health- Expressing feelings of revenge or threatening others

Escalation of violence over time- Drug or alcohol abuse - Becoming a member of a violent gang - Fascination with weapons- Anger issues - Withdrawing from friends - Fear of rejection and being ridiculed -Inability to cope with societal norms

Teen’s early childhood history- Abusive parents and violence at home- Early childhood abuse – physical, sexual, and verbal - Neglected by parents- Mental illness by birth or accident - Lack of empathy - Damaging property and goods when angry

CAUSES AND ACTS

MONIKA PATNI

Healy and Bronner(1936) compared delinquent youths with their non-delinquent siblings and analyzed the differences between them. Children reared in the same family do not live in the same psychological environment. Emotional traits and attitudes, as well as interests, often cause sharp differences between the two. Not only are the stimuli for each child distinctive, but the constitutional make-up of children differs in terms of intellectual capacity, emotions and feelings, and reactivity patterns.

OBSERVATION

NIKITA SHANDILYA AND MONIKA PATNI

4. Situational delinquency

- Here the assumption is that delinquency is not deeply rooted, and motives for delinquency and means for controlling it are often relatively simple.

3. Organised delinquency

- This type refers to delinquencies that are committed by formally organized groups.

2. Group supported delinquency

- In this type, delinquencies are committed in companionship with others.

1. Individual delinquency

- It refers to delinquency in which one person is engaged in committing a delinquent act and its cause is located within the individual delinquent.

Prevention of delinquency

NIKITA SHANDILYA

The problem of juvenile delinquency is one that has drawn the attention of society. It is known that the delinquent child of today may turn out to be a chronic criminal tomorrow.

  • Creating and inspiring a team of private and public agencies devoted to preventive work.
  • Giving proper training to the members and staff of all organizations concerned with delin­quency control.

CONCLUSION

A juvenile delinquent is a juvenile who has violated the law. Juvenile delinquency also includes those youths who violate rules that pertain only to youths and wouldn't be considered an offense if committed by an adult. These are status offenses, except those 46 heinous offenses which are mention before. The juvenile justice system is a system of last resort. It only receives those youths who have failed, or been failed by, other societal institutions. Many programs and agencies have substantial control over whom they serve. The juvenile justice system does not. Law enforcement agencies, parents, and schools all decide who enters the system. Delinquents generally do better when kept in families, traditional schools, and the juvenile justice system as opposed to the criminal justice system.
