Nirbhaya rape case has grabbed
everyone's attention. The person who was involved in the case was let
free. This has shocked the whole nation. Judges said that he was let
free based on Juvenile Justice Act.
As
there were lots of opposition, a new bill was passed and the age limit
was reduced below 16 years.In a recent survey it was said that 30% of
Juvenile offenders were never been to school.
A
report says 50% of Children are involved in dacoit and robbery.
Offences related to person (murder and attempt to murder) and sexual
harassment (including rape) constituted 21.9% and 11.5%. Out of the 21
rape cases, 11 rape were either consensual or they were false
accusations.
Another data said that 70%
were unaware of the consequences. At the same time another report says
that 59% of children have done all the crimes in groups. This shows how
peer influence works. The report says the punishment will be of no use
and age has nothing to do with it.
