Abstract

The literal meaning of juvenile delinquency is not so wide as its symbolic meaning. The implicit concept is to be studied relatively as "Victimization" or "Criminalisation". It could be observed that the root causes of the offences committed by a child or juvenile are actually committed whether mostly out of malice, ie., criminal intention or due to the forcibility by poverty, starvation and other social evils. A child or juvenile is considered as vulnerable and delicate being of the society. This study can dig out the reasons why and how young minds start to walk on the track of being delinquent. This can sketch out their way from becoming unnourished and needy because of widespread pauperism to their conversion into an offender. Although it has been a known fact that the word "misconduct" means pre-planned offence with guilty mind but in case of child or juvenile it cannot be said firmly. As children move into puberty, they become increasingly autonomous and spend a greater proportion of their waking hours with nobles outside the home. At the same time, their risks of victimization increase substantially. Although in-home violence and child abuse are important forms of juvenile victimization, other entries in this volume discuss these forms of abuse in depth. Accordingly, the focus here is primarily on non-familial victimization "“ the kind that occurs outside the home, in school, and on the streets.
