Juvenile Justice System, a Pathway for Restoration of Children in Conflict with Law -- 6 Summary and Conclusions.This book offers a sociological exploration of street children in India and what pulls and pushes them into delinquency, at a time when the government of India is contemplating strengthening its juvenile justice system. It draws on in-depth, qualitative research carried out by an NGO which included unstructured and structured interviews with over 600 children as well as stakeholders. Through the stories of Indian children, this book examines the major factors which together play a crucial role in their engagement in deviant behaviour as they grow up. However, the authors argue that they should not be viewed not as a dangerous threat but as the country’s most valuable resource. The authors conclude that a punitive strategy may not be the best option, advocating instead for a focus on restorative justice which has been found to be effective and beneficial alongside other strategies which help strengthen families and enhance parenting skills.Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in AsiaCriminologyLaw—AsiaJuvenile delinquentsPoliceSocial serviceCorrectionsPunishmentVictimologyAsian Criminologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BC000Youth Offending and Juvenile Justicehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B5000Policinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B2000Social Work and Community Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33080Prison and Punishmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B9000Victimologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B1040Criminology.Law—Asia.Juvenile delinquents.Police.Social service.Corrections.Punishment.Victimology.Asian Criminology.Youth Offending and Juvenile Justice.Policing.Social Work and Community Development.Prison and Punishment.Victimology.364.360954362.7340954Parackal Sajuauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut787318Panicker Ritaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910349379403321Children and Crime in India2537276UNINA
