  • 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.
