Socio-demographic Correlates of Children Suffering from Juvenile Deliquency

The criminal behaviour is most often advocated as result of cirtain social, psychological atrocities. Present study aimed to know socio demographic variables, which are responsible for criminal behavior because criminals are not born they are made, and if we as a society can make them then we as a society also have the power to cure them. AJuvenile Delinquent, a person who is under age (below 18), who is found to have committed a crime in states which have declared by law that a minor lacks responsibility and thus may not be sentenced as an adult. The sample of the present study form 50 male delinquents children from “Bal-Sampreshan Grah”, Manacamp, Raipur (C.G.) were purposively selected for the study. These juvenile delinquents sometimes have mental disorders/behavioural issues such as post traumatic stress disorder or bipolar disorder, and are sometimes diagnosed with conduct disorder partially as a result of their delinquent behaviours. Many factors like schools, neighbourhood, Family, Society, Situations are equally responsible for the degradation or fall of a child. Hence, instead of labelling them as one we must try and find ways, rectify the errors in their lives which led them to behave in this manner. Children can be easily rehabilitated and psychological rehabilitation can be helpful to take them back in society.
