To effectively control crime, the Juvenile Justice Act of 2015 must be implemented with full public awareness, as well as thorough orientation and training for professionals and law enforcement organizations. The government should place a greater focus on productive and appealing long-term programs for juveniles to encourage them to integrate into society. However, better implementation of juvenile justice legislation, increased public awareness of juvenile lawbreaking, improved monitoring including checks and balances of the institutions involved in the Juvenile Justice System, the presence of performance appraisal procedures, and increased children’s capacity building are all urgently needed. Our country must take the initiatives to turn the growing criminal side of children into the glowing side of the future citizens in a perfect manner.
The juvenile system covers the area of children in dispute with law and order. Juvenile Justice is also known as Care and Protection of Children Act, 2015. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) does not specify an age below which a child “must be assumed not to have the ability to breach the criminal law,” but it does ask member states to establish one. The Beijing Rules do, however, state that “the age must not be defined at too low a level, taking into account emotional, mental, and intellectual maturation of children.” The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act, 2000 governs anyone under the age of 18 who is in trouble with the law in India. The whole process of handling the juvenile to providing justice to them is interesting though tricky in our legislative system.
