DELINQUENCY AMONG CHILDREN (WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO JUVENILE COURT) BY T.C. PARMAR (HARDCOVER)

Book Description

Delinquency Among Children: With Special Reference to the Juvenile Court by T. C. Parmar is a scholarly work that examines the problem of juvenile delinquency, its underlying causes, and the role of juvenile courts in addressing offences committed by children. Published by Arise Publishers & Distributors in 2008, the book explores the social, psychological, and legal dimensions of juvenile offending, with particular emphasis on the treatment, care, and rehabilitation of children who come into conflict with the law.

The book discusses changing concepts of delinquency, the characteristics of child offenders, and the various factors contributing to juvenile misconduct. It examines juvenile court procedures, juvenile probation, the role of social workers, institutional treatment, community-based rehabilitation, and preventive programmes. It also considers the historical legal framework, including the Bombay Children Act, and explores the development of the juvenile court as an institution.

A central theme of the book is the importance of understanding the individual circumstances and needs of children rather than relying solely on punitive measures. It highlights the significance of sensitive casework, professional guidance, social investigation, and appropriate rehabilitation in helping young offenders reintegrate into society.

This book is a useful reference for students and researchers in law, criminology, sociology, and social work, as well as professionals interested in juvenile justice, child welfare, and the prevention of juvenile delinquency.
