Juvenile recidivism has changed over time to reflect shifting perspectives on juvenile crime and delinquency. Juveniles were frequently treated the same as adult offenders in the early 19th century and subjected to similar harsh punishments. To provide rehabilitation rather than punishment, juvenile courts were created in the late 19th century as a result of a greater understanding of teenage development. The major objective of the study is to identify the risk factors that contribute to the reoffending behavior of juveniles in the region. The researcher has adopted an empirical research method. The sample frame is in and around Chennai and sample size is 200.The findings suggest that efforts should be made to educate both the young and old about the problem of juvenile recidivism in order to raise society's awareness of this issue. Males and girls view peer pressure and poverty differently as causes of adolescent recidivism, demonstrating the need for a more thorough investigation into the issue. Initiatives promoting community service are seen as an effective strategy for lowering juvenile recidivism, particularly among respondents who were either undergraduates or employed in the private sector or as independent contractors. The study also emphasizes the necessity for solutions to the issue of adolescent recidivism that take gender into consideration. Overall, the results indicate that decreasing recidivism is regarded as a success for youth correctional services particularly by younger respondents. Hence, restorative justice initiatives place a focus on mending wrongs and attending to victims' needs while also making young people accountable for their deeds and care community ensure that young people continue to receive assistance and resources after leaving the legal system can help keep them from reoffending.
