This study aims to reveal the factors responsible for rise in juvenile delinquency in India which apparently has increased in recent years. The child who has not completed the age of 18 years is called juvenile. India is a developing country but the rise of juvenile crimes are hurting and dragging the country’s development in ground. The government has introduced various laws in years like in 2000 the first juvenile justice act was introduced which replaced the previous act of 1986 but this act contained proper rulings but as the years goes by several amendments took place in the year of 2006 and 2011. But after the brutal Delhi gang rape case the government replaced the juvenile justice act, 2000 by introducing new juvenile justice act in 2015 which introduced a major change that the children between the ages of 16 to 18 years involved in heinous offences to be tried as adults which resulted a lot of turmoil. But in the end the great efforts and measures taken by the government are not looking so good. The child experiences a lot in his childhood and every aspect of that experience can act as catalyst to reduce or escalate future delinquency. The factors mentioned in this study are very much responsible for occurring of any juvenile crimes in India and this study helps us to understand those factors well. As India faces an unpredictable enemy it is the prime duty of the citizens also to fight against it and help any child who has been dragged into this juvenile delinquent world.
