Juvenile delinquency is becoming more of a problem in several nations, including India, China, and Pakistan. This research examines the causes and preventative methods of adolescent delinquency in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The introduction emphasises the rise in adolescent criminal activity and the transfer of cases to adult courts. The historical overview of India's juvenile justice system and the gradual development of laws to protect and rehabilitate juvenile offenders is provided in the background section. The literature overview includes research investigating the reasons and elements that contribute to juvenile delinquency, such as family environment, peer impact, surrounding environment, urbanization, and industrialization. The review also examines the effects of literacy, parental knowledge and attitude, socioeconomic conditions, and state-level per capita income on juvenile criminality. The conclusion emphasises the need for more study to understand the underlying reasons better and create appropriate solutions to this complicated problem. The results emphasize the need for preventative measures, increased education, family support, social reforms, and early intervention in delinquent juvenile rehabilitation
