Juvenile Crimes & Child Protection

Juvenile Crimes & Child Protection laws address offenses committed by minors and crimes against children, ensuring rehabilitation over punishment. Governed by the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, these laws classify juveniles based on age and offense severity. Crimes like child abuse, trafficking, forced labor, and sexual exploitation fall under protective laws like POCSO Act, 2012 and Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986. Legal mechanisms focus on rehabilitation, reformation, and safeguarding child rights through special courts, foster care, and counseling programs, ensuring juvenile justice aligns with constitutional and international child protection standards.
