Abstract
Children are the future of our country and it is the responsibility of everyone to ensure that they have a safe environment to live in. But the last decade has seen a huge leap in the rate of Juvenile crime in a developing country like India. Today, Juvenile crime is like a disease in our society. This paper starts with describing the evolution of Juvenile Justice Legislation, from pre-independence era to Post-independence India; and specially looks at the guidelines of Juvenile Justice Act, 2000. In spite of the presence of that welfare law for such children, there is a rise in the number of Juvenile offenders across the country. So, a pertinent question peeped in our mind whether Juvenile offenders who commit heinous crimes should be treated as adults. The paper also tries to find out the causes and types of Juvenile Crimes in our society. In the concluding part, some suggestions have been made for preventive measures of Juvenile Crimes.
