Juvenile Justice

Juvenile Justice is a detailed and authoritative resource on the legal framework governing minors in conflict with the law in India. The book examines the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, explaining key provisions relating to juvenile delinquency, rehabilitation, protection of vulnerable children, and procedural safeguards. It provides guidance on juvenile courts, social welfare authorities, rehabilitation programs, and the rights of children in both criminal and civil contexts.

The book integrates legal commentary, case-law analysis, and practical insights, helping readers understand the intersection of child advocacy, criminal law, and family law. It also addresses contemporary issues such as the treatment of juveniles in serious offences, restorative justice, and policy implications for child welfare. Designed to equip practitioners, policymakers, social workers, and students, it emphasizes effective legal practice, ethical considerations, and the promotion of child welfare and rehabilitation.

Written in a clear and accessible style, the handbook serves as both a practical guide for legal professionals and a reference for academic study. By blending statutory provisions with real-world applications, it ensures that minors’ rights are upheld while providing actionable guidance for addressing juvenile delinquency and safeguarding children in India.
