Abstract
This research paper delves into the complex phenomenon of teenage crime, employing expert assessments to explore international experiences, juvenile crime definitions, and influencing factors. It particularly focuses on criteria for assigning responsibility and discusses rehabilitation methods for minor offenders, offering prevention recommendations. Juvenile delinquency is a global concern due to its potential to catalyze criminal behavior among teenagers, forming deviant pockets in society. The study highlights the multifaceted nature of adolescent delinquency, considering both social and legal implications. Despite existing legislation, recent data reveal a worrisome increase in teenage convictions, signaling the inadequacy of current measures. The paper redefines adolescence, extending its boundaries from 11 to 17 years, emphasizing the need for a holistic understanding of this critical developmental phase. It explores global shifts in juvenile offender laws, exemplified by India's Juvenile Justice Act of 2015, illustrating a move towards a more reformative justice system. Examining key influences on teen offenses, the study identifies traits associated with antisocial and psychopathic personalities, emphasizing the role of psychoneurotic disorders and inadequate upbringing. The research asserts that juvenile crime, being a social problem, requires a nuanced approach, considering both legal repercussions and preventative measures. The analysis dissects crime's essential components, emphasizing cultural nuances in defining criminal acts. While advocating for the punishment of juvenile offenders, the article stresses leniency, recognizing the formative stage of adolescence. The conclusion calls for a comprehensive approach, merging legal, psychological, and social interventions to dissuade teenagers from illegal activities. It contends that solely tightening sanctions is insufficient, urging socio-psychological approaches and specialized programs alongside legislative measures to effectively curb juvenile delinquency
