Juvenile Justice System In India And Mental Health Needs Of Children In Conflict With Law

In today's rapidly advancing world, we need to expand our knowledge of juveniles by better understanding the whereabouts of the kids who are in legal trouble. During the 1990s, we saw more adolescents exchanged to criminal courts, longer sentences at lower ages at which adolescents may be prosecuted within the criminal equity framework than adults. Several temporarily connected developments express grave fears about their potential linkage and subsequent influence on the characteristics of today's kids who run afoul of the law. The primary motives of this study are to offer a summary of the literature on the prevalence and mental health needs of juveniles in the system of juvenile justice to increase understanding of the psychological, rehabilitation, and sociocultural factors.
