| Abstract: | Young individuals wield significant influence in fostering the progress and prosperity of a nation. During adolescence, individual face a pivotal stage where they may be susceptible to engaging in destructive action and behaviour. Every society and nation are unique, some youngsters are fortunate to grow up in well-nourished and protected families, while others may not even have the access to proper nutrition and educational opportunities. Often, these disparities combined with other factors such as poverty, lack of parental guidance, negative peer influences, and challenging socio – economic condition, contribute to Juvenile delinquency. In India, we have numerous legal frameworks for children in conflict with law. It is crucial for the general populace to be informed about the rights of juveniles established in our country. This knowledge will provide them with better understanding of how to deal with Juvenile delinquency effectively. However, in Arunachal Pradesh, many people are not fully aware of the provisions outlined in these acts regarding juvenile delinquency. Hence, the present study aims to explore the awareness levels among various segments of the population in Arunachal Pradesh. The present study will be descriptive and historical based on primary and secondary data. |
