Childhood is for fun. But the number of minors in crime like murder and rape is increasing rapidly which is very worrying for the whole society. The age of sixteen is called teenagers age, but if we look at the figure, it looks like a black age. According to the National Crime Bureau, the age of sixteen is becoming the age to become a criminal. Some children pay to small children to do the wrong thing. If someone's friends are doing wrong, then he also asks his friends to do the same thing this is called peer pressure.

The juvenile crime graph is 64%. So, let me tell you who is juvenile?

Juvenile means a very young person teenager, an adolescent. A juvenile crime committed by those in the 16-18 age groups. Crime by a juvenile is harsh in reality today's world .as per the juvenile justice act, 2000, a juvenile shall not be treated as an adult and his criminal activities are not involved in a court of law.

In this case, 5 were accused and the remaining one was juvenile .Pavan Kumar contended that he was a juvenile under the juvenile justice act. He claimed that per his records, his date of birth is 08.10.1996.and on the day of the Nirbhaya incident. Pavan was only16 years 02 months and 08 days and was released from a reformation home after serving a three-year term.  

REASONS FOR JUVENILE CRIMES 

The main reason for juvenile crimes is poverty, low moral values, and poor enforcement of the law. As no one is born to be a criminal but the circumstances of his life make him like a criminal. Due to poverty, children are associated with juvenile crimes.

  • Poor educational standards: overcrowded and underfunded schools tend to lack discipline and order.

  • Violence in the home: mostly teens subjected to violent actions, or those who witness it to others, are more likely to act with fear and frustrations 

  • Peer pressure: in this pressure, if all of their friends are committing criminal activities, the child may feel pressured to do the same activities.

  • Lack of moral guidance: it is the most common factor in which parents do not have time for their child and they don't know about their child activities, in this way a child starts with hiring juvenile activities due to lack of his parent's guidance.

LAW FOR JUVENILE CRIME

  • The law allows for juveniles 16 years or older to be tried as adults for heinous offenses like rapes and murder. Heinous offenses are those which are punishable with imprisonment of seven years or more.

  • According to the juvenile justice act, 2000 juvenile may be kept in an 'observation home ' in which children are need of care and protection need to be kept in children home before the competent authority.

Recently, due to an increase in major crimes the government has made major changes in the laws.

Why recycling should be necessary? ( by Neha Soni ) Why should we recycle? A question that is always around us but we fantastically ignore it. So why do we do that? Why don’t we recycle things or at least make some habits in our schools, colleges, or workplace that will segregate the recyclable products? The answer is simple- we are either not bothered or not have enough knowledge of the importance of recycling. Recycling is a process in which waste materials are converted into new materials and products. The new products which are formed are used, again get recycled and the cycle repeats. This is done to prevent excessive usage of raw materials and will help us in preserving the environment. Recycling is one of the main components of a waste management system and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste motto. Thus, recycling aims at environmental sustainability by substituting staple inputs into recyclable waste outputs.   Products which can...
