Types of juvenile crimes

 Types of juvenile crimes in India

Juvenile crimes manifest themselves in a range of conduct or behaviors. Each pattern has a distinct social setting. Delinquency exhibits a variety of styles of conduct or forms of behavior. Each of the patterns has its own social context and causes.

The awareness that they will not face criminal charges since they are minors is also a catalyst in the process of building a child offender. The lack of fear of punishment has resulted in an increase in the rate of criminality among minors.

Howard Becker, in 1966, identified four categories of juvenile delinquency, namely individual, group-supported, organized, and situational delinquency.

 

1. Individual juvenile crimes



Individual delinquency refers to all delinquent activities undertaken by a juvenile on his or her own. The source of the problem is found inside the criminal themself. Psychiatrists claim that they are the result of psychological issues.

The primary cause of these psychological issues is dysfunctional and unhealthy familial contact patterns. The psychiatrists compared the delinquent siblings to their non-delinquent siblings. They discovered that the most prevalent reason for committing such crimes was that they were unhappy and dissatisfied with their living conditions.

They engage in delinquent behavior in the first place to attract attention from family or peers. Others conduct delinquent activities in order to alleviate their guilt.

Psychiatrists also discovered that delinquents varied from non-delinquent in their relationship with their dads, rather than their mothers. In addition, their discipline was stricter and more severe.

    Family plays a very important role in controlling behaviour of minors.. They need to be taught what behaviour is acceptable and aggressive behaviour at young age needs to be controlled at early stages..

Juvenile Justice System in India

  Claim of Juvenility The first and most debatable question among the legal fraternity and socialists is the “claim of juvenility”. The claim of Juvenility is to be decided by Juvenile Justice Board. The Board has to decide the claim of juvenility before the court proceedings but the claim of juvenility can be raised before the court at any stage of proceedings and even after the disposal of the matter by the Board.
