Abstract
Juvenile delinquency a problem that has been causing a serious concern throughout the world. Even in developed countries, the number of cases of juvenile delinquency are increasing every year, notwithstanding the high standard of living and availability of all kinds of necessities, amenities, and luxuries of life besides compulsory universal education upon a fairly high age. In fact, the problem in developed countries is more complex and deep rooted than the one in the developing nations. If a child goes wrong because of lack of proper care and attention, it will indeed be a deficiency of the society and of the government. So it is the duty of every member of the society to provide full attention to ensure that children are properly cared for and brought up in a proper atmosphere where they could receive proper education, and guidance.
