Rehabilitation programs for juvenile delinquents

 Rehabilitation programs for juvenile delinquents

1)   Juvenile Counselling
Juvenile counseling supports and guides troubled youngsters between the ages of 5 and 17 and their families. Juvenile counseling is provided to young people dealing with issues that lead to behavioral problems. Children and adolescents who can benefit from juvenile counseling include those struggling with poverty, substance abuse, a lack of positive role models, parental neglect, abuser abandonment, or mental disorders.
2)   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a treatment that focuses on patterns of thinking and the beliefs, attitudes, and values that underlie thinking. It is reliably effective with a wide variety of personal problems and behaviors.

The qualified staff helps youth transform negative thoughts into positive ones, and with the emphasis on the connection between thoughts and behaviors,  this helps change behavior as well. The programs, often offered in small group settings, incorporate lessons and exercises involving role play, modeling, or demonstrations. Individual counseling sessions are often part of CBT.

3)   Vocational and skill training

 Through close observation and individual assessment of each child, institutions must identify hidden talents and potentials within a child. During a study on the rehabilitation of Children in Conflict with the Law by HAQ, a database of vocational courses managed by NGOs for children in Homes in Delhi was also prepared. Organizations mostly offer courses on beauty culture, computer courses which include tally, MS Office, MS Excel, Hardware, desktop publishing, and cutting and tailoring courses which include dressmaking, sewing, and fashion designing. Thereby the child can earn some income.
4)   Individual care plan

 As per sec.39 of the JJ Act, an individual care plan for every juvenile must be developed for rehabilitation and social integration. It helps to effectively identify and address all their needs. The individual care plan should be reviewed at regular intervals.

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. The Board had to consider Rule 12 of the Juvenile Justice Rules, 2007 in order to determine the claim of juvenility. In the case of KulaiIbrahim v. State of Coimbatore, it was observed by the Court that the accused has the right to raise the question of juvenility at any point of time during the trial or even after the disposal of the case under Section 9 of Juvenile Justice Act, 2015. Juvenile Justice System in India Like other countries, India has also made legal provisions that mainly and specifically deal with the rights and protection of juvenile offenders ...

  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.
