Abstract
Juvenile delinquency refers to criminal or antisocial behaviour by individuals under the age of 18. It is a complex and growing societal issue with multiple causes, including family problems, peer influence, poverty, lack of education, and mental health challenges. This assignment explores the root causes, types, psychological aspects, and legal responses to juvenile offenses. It also examines the role of media, the importance of rehabilitation, and international approaches to juvenile justice. By focusing on preventive strategies and reformative measures, this paper emphasizes that early intervention, education, and community support are key to addressing and reducing juvenile delinquency. The ultimate goal is to support the reintegration of young offenders into society as responsible citizens.
