The problem of juvenile delinquency is not of recent origin. It existed in societies through the ancient times. Rather it has become a global problem. To redress the issue of juvenile delinquency various declarations and conventions at the international level and laws were enacted by the respective governments at the national level. With the passage of time and advancement of information technology existing juvenile laws were proved to be ineffective to curb the rising incidents of juvenile crimes. The unfortunate incident of Nirbhay gang rape case in Delhi gave spark to the new legislation with strict punishments to control criminal activities by young children. Resultantly, Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2014 came into existence with regular criminal trial and criminal sanctions. The research paper in hand briefly analyses the juvenile justice legislations from the Indian perspective.
