Juvinile Deliquency
Introduction
With the fast pace development in our country, we notice lots of changes appearing in the climate, the environment, society, our educational system and then the behaviour of our children Reports in various researches and surveys show an increase in delinquent behaviour of the students aged 14-20 years. Children committing crimes in developed countries were kind of a common problem but recently remarkable crimes were seen on an increase in Indian schools also. Children studying in reputed schools and belonging to good families have been involved in serious crimes like sexual abuse, attempt to murder robbery and many more.
The question arises here, what made these children act in this manner, and if this is the cost we have to pay in return of the development in our country and rise in our living standards, then are we mentally and materialistically prepared to accept and fight or deal with such conditions of our upcoming generation.

The age limit and also the meaning of delinquency vary in most countries, but it is always below 18 years. Generally, any person between the ages 7 to 18, who violates the law, is considered as delinquent and persons above this age are considered as criminals. The incidence of delinquency is rising amongst the girls also.

The different forms of delinquent behaviour include loitering, loafing, pick-pocketing, stealing, gambling, sexual offences like eve teasing, etc. The rate of delinquency is rising very fast all over the world and one of the main suspected reasons could be the negligence of parents
