Abstract
Juvenile delinquency has emerged as a significant social concern.
Historically, children were treated like adult offenders. However,
modern penology recognizes that children lack mature judgment
and are capable of reform Internationally, the United Nations
adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which
mandates child-friendly justice systems focusing on rehabilitation
India, being a signatory, enacted the Juvenile Justice (Care and
Protection of Children) Act, 2015 replacing the 2000 Act.
