Abstract: “A
child may be a person who will carry on what you have got started,” Abraham
Lincoln said over a century ago. He will sit where you are and, after you are
gone, he will decide what he thinks is important. You can make any plans you
want, but he will determine how they are carried out. He will take control of
your churches, schools, colleges, and businesses. He holds the futures of
humanity in his hands.Children’s crimes are illegal actions that go against
social standards. Child misconduct refers to criminal acts committed by
children, with behavioral issues being a major cause of youth crimes in India.
Child crime is a global issue, and many laws have been made to address it.
These children may also engage in other criminal acts, including domestic abuse
and disrespect towards women. The juvenile justice court ensures children have
their rights, but may punish them in serious cases. The rate of crime among
youths under 16 has increased in recent years, possibly due to factors like
their upbringing, financial issues, a lack of education, or poor parental care.
A concerning trend is the use of very young children, especially those under
five to seven years old, as tools for committing crimes, as they are easily
manipulated.
