SYNOPSIS

Juvenile correction and rehabilitation centre

Reason behind choosing the topic
Children are considered to be gifts from God and are greatest personal as well as
national assets. We as individuals, parents, guardians and society as a whole
have a duty that children should be allowed and provided opportunity to grow up
in a healthy socio-cultural environment so that they could become responsible
citizens, physically fit, mentally alert and morally healthy. It is the duty of the
State to provide equal opportunities for development to all children during the
period of their growth which would reduce inequality and ensure social justice.
Children are expected to be obedient, respectful and have virtues and good
quality in them. However, due to various reasons certain percentage of children
do not follow settled social and legal dictum. Such children are most often than
not get involved in criminal behaviour which is known as juvenile delinquency or
juvenile crime.
As per National Crime Records Bureau data Delhi reported 2,909 cases. Rajasthan had
2,776, Kerala 2,101, Tamil Nadu 1,486, Haryana 1,081, Punjab 1,068, Gujarat
999, West Bengal 744 and Odisha 736.
Eventually the juvenile rate from last three be shows the increment in crimes.
Therefore, the juvenile centre are open to guide the juveniles. Juvenile means a
person who is very young, teenager, adolescent or underage. In other words,
juvenile means children who have not yet reached the age of adults in the sense
that they are still childish or immature.
INTRODUCTION

Children have not always received special treatment in the criminal justice
system. Before 1850, there were no juvenile courts and a 12 year old child
charged with murder would be tried in an adult court, found guilty and
sentenced to death by hanging, the most common penalty. The children
who were not sentenced to death were placed in harsh prisons with adult
criminals. Even now days many state machinery hides in institutions
where no outsiders is allowed to tread and leaves them to their own
devise with scant attention being paid to their wellbeing and
rehabilitation. On completion of their sentenced they are flushed out, it
equipped to handle life outside of the institute. The treatment meted out
to juvenile offenders is most deplorable, especially when juvenile
legislation recognizes that juvenile in conflict with law also require care
and protection.
