Dr.Surendra Pawar
Abstract:
From the sociological point of view, age is not given much importance for child crime because the mental and social maturity of a person is not always affected by age, so some scholars consider the behavioral tendency manifested by the child as the basis for child crime, such as loitering. Being absent from school, disobeying parents and guardians, using obscene language, keeping contact with people of character, etc. But till a valid method is not accepted unanimously, age will be considered as the determining basis of juvenile crime. From a sociological point of view, a juvenile delinquent is a person whose behavior is considered harmful by society and therefore prohibited by it. A child who disobeys the law and behaves anti-socially is a juvenile delinquent. The purpose of this research paper is to study the increasing trend of child crime in India and the reasons for the increase in child crime.
