Abstract :
This study aims the causes behind juvenile
delinquency, and the measures that are being taken for the
positive development of the children in conflict with law.
The reason for the rising trend of criminal tendencies
among youngsters in our society is due to the deteriorating
family structure and parent-child relationship. The games
that today’s children play on their cell phones, laptops or
personal computers are full of violence and aggression.
Even the TV programmes and movies nowadays are crime
related and have violent content. It is the duty of the parents
to check how much of education value is there in these
programmes. The fact is that today’s children have very
few options for venting their natural teenage aggression.
There is minimal communication even in friend circles,
except for playing games. In such a scenario, children,
especially the youth, do not know where to stop or what are
the consequences of getting involved in criminal activities.
The situation of Tamil nadu points out to the vulnerable
conditions of children in conflict with law that need to be
addressed urgently.
