SYNOPSIS 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1Juvenile Delinquency: Juvenile Delinquency’ refers to a large variety of disapproved behaviour of children and adolescents which society does not approve of and for what some admonishment; punishment or corrective measure is justified in the public interest. The perception that juvenile delinquency is a creeping social menace is sharpened because the crimes with which the youths are most often associated are those of wanton violence and destruction where the motive is often difficult to discover. The term expresses a very extensive meaning, covering hostile and rebellious behaviour of children and their malignant attitude towards society. Certain other acts as such begging, truancy, vagrancy, obscenity, loitering, pilfering, drinking, gambling etc. Which vicious persons very often commit is also included within the meaning of the term. It may therefore, be inferred that a juvenile delinquent is an adolescent between childhood and manhood or womanhood as the case may be who indulge in some kind of anti - social behaviour, which if not checked in time may grow into a potential offender.

1.2: MAJOR CAUSES OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY:  Temptation for modern luxuries of life lures young people to resort to wrongful means in order to satisfy their wants cumulatively lead to an enormous increase in juvenile delinquency in urban areas.

 Disintegrated family system and laxity in parental control over children is also another reason for it.

JUVENILE CORRECTION & REHABILITATION CENTER

SYNOPSIS  Increase in divorce cases and matrimonial disputes. Undue discrimination amongst children or step-motherly treatment also makes adverse psychological effect on youngsters.  Certain biological factors are also responsible for creating delinquent behaviour amongst juveniles. Early psychological maturity and low intelligence carry a major problem; especially to the young Indian girls.  Migration of deserted and destitute boys to slums brings them closely in contact with anti-social elements caring on prostitution, smuggling of liquor or narcotic drugs and bootlegging.  In a country like India poverty is one of the potential causes behind juvenile delinquency. Parent’s failure in providing basic necessities of life such as food and clothing drive to their children to earn money by easier means, no matter what the way is that they will have to choose.  Apart from these all illiteracy, child labour, squalor etc. are other contributing factors aggravating juvenile delinquency

1.3 CLASSIFICATION:  Observation homes: For the temporary reception of any juvenile in conflict with law during the pendency of any inquiry regarding them under this Act.  Special homes: For reception and rehabilitation of juvenile in conflict with law  The Observation Homes or Special Homes shall set up separate residential facilities for juvenile up to 12 years, 13-15 years and 16 years and above.

Secure accommodation

Segregation of various categories of inmates

Sanitation and hygiene

Daily routines of inmates

Opportunity for exercise and physical activity

Medical services

Education and religion

Social behavior and factors influencing it.

2. LITERATURE 2.1 LITERATURE REVIEW – APPROACH

“Youth offending has been and still is a social problem across many countries; it is a problem that affects and shapes the very fabric of society. The problem with the youth in modern society is both a national concern and an important subject for academic study.”

Since the conception of young people’s deviant behaviour as a social problem, efforts have been made to put measures in place to reduce young offending through research and community prevention programs, which seem to be very unsuccessful. Consequently, young offending exists in alarming rates, and offenders end up in correctional facilities which are problematic institutions and inhumane environments as will be discussed in due course. The creation of Juvenile Detention Centers was aimed at rehabilitation and protection of young offenders from adult offenders’ influence. However noble these intentions were, it has become worrying that these centers in India are dehumanizing and not conducive for rehabilitation. This thesis interrogates Juvenile Correctional Centre’s as an architectural typology, and explores their panoptic design philosophy and its effects. It investigates the architectural and spatial qualities that can facilitate the rehabilitation of young offenders. Furthermore, it explores the concept of community integration through the introduction of youth rehabilitation centers within communities and creation of spaces that allow communities to participate in rehabilitative activities for young offenders. This thesis culminates in the proposal a ‘Juvenile Detention Home’, a new architectural typology for the rehabilitation of young offenders that becomes a platform for community participation and integration in India.

2.6 JUVENILE DELIQUENCY •

Crime is defined legally as violation of the law. Children in conflict with law are boys and girls below eighteen years of age, alleged to have committed offences and have been taken into custody by the police under the purview of the juvenile justice system.

Children are vulnerable to abusive negative circumstances are influenced often by adults to engaged in crime.

They too need sensitive and protective measures for suitable rehabilitation and they are also children for which children get convicted who need care and protection.

JUVENILE CORRECTION & REHABILITATION CENTER

Page 8


Some of the offences could be:

2. LITERATURE

1. Burglary, stealing and petty thefts 2. Murder 3. rape/molestation & sexual abuse 4. Causing grievous hurt or injury to another 5. Other minor offences

Some of the factors that lead to juvenile crime are: •

Poverty: poverty deprives children of socio-cultural and economic opportunities for growth and development. Poverty related circumstances like severe hunger, illness, addictions, parental neglect, aggravate the situation. Such children are at greater risk than others of being induced into crime.

Family: criminal acts of family members influence children and sometimes they themselves induct children into offences.

Lack of appropriate guidance and discipline : inconsistent discipline, parental indifference , abusive parenting can lead to poor self image and personality problems, making children vulnerable to negative influences outside the home.

Home situation : Disintegration of the “families at risk”, severe family crisis, system, migration, and urbanization has all weakened the positive and nurturing influence of family on the child. Tension and emotional disturbances and abuse at home may drive the child away from the home and become vulnerable to criminal influences.

Victims of abuse: research indicates a correlation between child abuse and subsequent delinquency.

School dropouts: not attending school regularly in truancy, indulging in unhealthy leisure activities and committing petty crimes to earn a living.

Exposure to media: exposure to media violence not only increases physical aggressiveness in children but also makes them more accepting of violence.

JUVENILE CORRECTION & REHABILITATION CENTER

Page 9


2. LITERATURE

Peer influence: in adolescence, experimenting with drugs , gambling , drinking , inappropriate sexual behavior ,desire for quick money, getting involved in youth gangs often lead to violence of crime.

Lack of age appropriate sex education: this often leads to sexual abuse and molestation and even rape by young children.

Gang culture: observed especially among children where the street gang is the substitute family and the child gets bullied into the anti-social activities of the gang in return for survival, protection or favor.

2.7 JUVENILE CRIME RATE IN INDIA •

The society in India has been facing an increase in problems regarding youth groups and individuals that are committing crimes and misbehaviour actions that are mainly unsolved and ignored.

In such a community with a limitation on resources for youth, it is necessary to recognize the importance of a “Juvenile Detention Center” in order to solve problems in the society properly and hope for a better future for the youth and general public.

In 2011, the Juvenile crimes in India were 25,125., and 1.7 mn Juveniles accused of crimes.

Following this statistic, 64% of the Juveniles crimes were committed by those in the 16-18 age group.

Keeping this mind, it is important to acknowledge that crime rate in India has been increasing due to many factors that are affecting the modern life.

Relating the crime rate numbers to the juvenile offenders, it is observed that the problems of troubled youth has been steadily increasing, and there are no proper discipline programs that are developed to keep them away from committing more crime.

Therefore, the essentiality of developing a proper program for the young offenders is necessary to give them a change for rehabilitation and hopefully

guarantee character improvement and enhance their skills and abilities to be better suited and released back into the community.

STANDARDS AND DATA COLLECTION 3.1 Juvenile facility design •

Designing a juvenile facility highly depends on understanding the needs and requirements of the users of the facility: the inmates and employees that are responsible for taking care of the youth.

In order to have a well-designed facility that comprehends its function, it is essential to look beyond just creating spaces or an attractive façade.

A good design greatly depends on the development of spaces that offer a positive outcome of the residents and at the same time is responsive to the inmates and staff.

It should also comprehend the other essential functions of the facility, such as daily programs, safety, security, and affirmative management.

The most important factor to remember while designing a juvenile center is the importance of providing a positive interference in the lives of the youth and offering all the essential needs for an optimistic rehabilitation.

Custodial care is usually the last alternative in a series of interventions that is offered by the justice system.

Therefore, it could be the last opportunity for youth to consider their actions and redirect them to a path that is free of crime.

It is important to guaranty that the environment created for the youth supports them in every aspect of their lives and encourages positive energy among the juveniles in order to achieve effective cooperation.

Therefore, it is essential that the spaces and programs are well developed and integrated with the residential environment of the center.

Even for the short-term juveniles, the purpose of the center should be effective enough to teach them discipline while they are present.

The focus of the design of a youth detention center should be directed to the establishment of spaces that encourage teaching and learning in all aspects of the

human life, such as casual living and family related activities, social interactions, and academic education. •

In the past few years, the purpose of the juvenile facilities have been aiming to enhance the characteristic qualities of the juveniles by accommodating a greater number of inmates and providing larger housing units in more restrictive construction materials and hardware.

It is essential to understand that for a juvenile facility is not a jail, it is merely a secure place that under the best circumstances hopes to present a better future for the troubled juveniles.

3.2 Flow of movement: •

The following diagram illustrates the inmate flow through the reception component of a detention facility.

This diagram gives insight to the detailed spaces required upon the entrance of the youth from the arrangement till his/her entrance to the detention housing unit.

3.3 Analysis of Need: •

STANDARDS AND DATA COLLECTION

It is common for local authorities to develop a secure juvenile detention facility to solve the problems of youth, especially in communities where there are very few recourses and activities for them.

Such a facility provides a demanding action to youths’ misbehaviors. Therefore, this could mean that inmates of the center have no transportation to access facilities.

Law enforcements and the courts could also make it obligatory for the juveniles and their families to participate in different activities such as, problem-solving and self-treatment services.

The safety and security provided at the juvenile center determines the success of the project. Thus, a more secure and safe detention center would hopefully prove to be positively affective.

Past studies about youth detention centers suggest that secure detention should be adjustable to the juveniles intervention needs.

Some juveniles require secure custody, while most of the other youths can be managed by the local programs of the center and at the same time will not jeopardize the safety or cause threats for fellow inmates or the community.

Thus, secure custody should be exclusively categorized for the youth whom might present a threat to others, the public, or the court process.

It is essential to recognize the importance of providing secure residential care for the juvenile criminals. A limited number of youth who enter the juvenile justice system need this exclusive attention.

Yet, various authorize who acknowledge the importance of such a facility for the youth spend money to provide the essentials of a place for the juveniles.

On the other hand, sometimes the programs and services that require the facility to function effectively are ignored, and this results to accepting various kinds of youth offenders whom might not even need to be physically restricted.

In this case, authorities usually are in demand to extend the perimeters of the project and over-build to accommodate the other facilities.

STANDARDS AND DATA COLLECTION

For a youth detention facility to operate effectively, the various needs of inmates have to be accommodated. These programs may include:

- Day treatment

- Alternative education

- After school report

- Shelter care/staff secure

- Juvenile and family counseling

- Job skills training

- Group care/treatment

- Restitution/community work

Space programs and other accommodations to support the listed programs can be incorporated into the center or found in new-planed facilities or they can exist a different location.

These enhancement programs do not need a secure construction; therefore, the development costs of such projects are considerably lower.

These programs require a specific number of juveniles to be present in the center to have an active community on the campus. The operational costs of these listed services are considered to be low.

3.4 Safety, Security and Management Priorities: •

Residential facilities for juveniles might vary in their security level. Some of them might have maximum, medium, or minimum security, or a combination of them.

Regardless of the security level, a juvenile center should provide a safe environment that would protect them from any harm. The residents of the center should understand and feel that they are safe from any external or internal threat.

The presence of the staff and their interactions with youth should enhance their feeling of security. And for small group sizes, the chances for privacy and defining boundaries inside and outside of the buildings should be clear for the youth.

The feeling of security and safety and the absence of perceived threats will reduce defensive and aggressive behavior among the youth.

The present staff and people working in the center should also be confident that they are safe at all times.

JUVENILE CORRECTION & REHABILITATION CENTER

Page 29


STANDARDS AND DATA COLLECTION

This would encourage the staff and workers to act more effectively and efficiently and at the same time, enhance the cooperation among them and the juveniles.

If the staff does not feel secure at any time or, their personal safety is uncertain, this might result in them withdrawing from participating in the residential activities of the center.

In order to achieve the highest levels of security possible, residents of the center should be observed and their actions monitored at all times, and they should also be aware that they are being watched at all times.

In the housing units of the center, residents should be directly supervised and in the common living spaces, their action should be monitored by the staff inside the housing areas and supported by the staff outside of the housing units.

This method of observation is preferred in most of the juvenile programs. It is also important to recognize that the staff in other locations should easily monitor the activities taking place in the housing units. In the residential area, small group activities should be permitted to allow residents to separated themselves from others or be separated from staff, as required.

In places that are physically secure, the development of various activity zones are necessary, thus, staff should control the access between the zones. For example, from living area to dayroom, from multipurpose room to living area, from outdoor spaces to the housing unit, and from housing units to education or recreational activity zones.

The main areas that need access control usually involve staff control of locked doors.

It is important that attention should be given for the development of easily monitored housing units, along with programs areas, such as, educational, recreational, dining, and visiting, as well as special attention should be given to circulation routes to clearly mark their access and exit points.

JUVENILE CORRECTION & REHABILITATION CENTER

Page 30


STANDARDS AND DATA COLLECTION

The perimeters of the building have to be extremely secure to prevent

unauthorized access and egress from the facility. However, security fixtures and materials within the building can be less preventive and obstructive. •

Secure constructions can assist staff to do their job more efficiently to make the management for access easier to monitor and removes the threats of escape.

Nevertheless, security construction cannot replace the efforts of staff working with youth in providing a secure and safe environment for them.

Staff can encourage youth and minimize the chances of escape by treating them fairly and responding to their problems as they occur.

The facility design within itself aims to encourage the supervision of all spaces used by residents, the easy accessibility to the different services and facilities in the center, and supports interaction between staff and residents.

3.5 Environmental Character: •

The environmental character of the center should encourage the residents to accept rehabilitation, as well as allow for integrated of outdoor and indoor activities. Some essential issues that relate to the design of a youth detention center and affect the environmental character of the place can include the following factors:

Allow for open interior spaces to view the outside;

Permit openings that allow natural lighting into indoor spaces to reduce the perception of crowding;

Accessibility to outdoor spaces from the housing units and program areas to reduce the feeling of confinement;

Encourage secure outdoor activities;

Usage of light colours, decorative accents, and changing decorations can enhance the spatial openness of the space, as well as add visual diversity and allow for a sense of customization of the space;

STANDARDS AND DATA COLLECTION

The use of movable furniture can allow a space to be adjusted for different

activities and offer control over the environment as suitable for the activity; •

Spatial variety, changing of spatial scale, and shape of the space all are encourages throughout the daily activities;

Encourage the use of sound absorbing materials to avoid disturbance and noise that is usually generated from youthful populations living together;

Use of customary and adjustable materials that resist damages and or that might be common to being self-fulfilling;

3.6 Daily Programming Activities and Opportunities: •

Daily activities are an important part of the youth’s life. The establishment of routines would offer youth a sense of comfort and constancy that should encourage positive behavior.

It would also serve to diminish the uncertainty of unexpected or potential harmful events. Developing a full schedule that includes, educations, recreational, therapeutic, and family-oriented activities would hopefully guarantee that the youth is occupied at all times, and thus minimize the occurrence of harmful behavior.

It should also assist in developing the manners of the youth to be able to return them back to the community with a positive change. The residential areas of the facility should support living activities such as personal hygiene, counseling, reading, homework, and passive games.

And for a more beneficial and diverse outcome to serve the youth, it is encourages that they have access to computer games, skill building activities, table games, arts and crafts, and outdoor recreation activities.

Outdoor activities generally promotes positive behavior, thus residents should be able to go outside their housing units to participate in group activities or for personal enjoyment.

JUVENILE CORRECTION & REHABILITATION CENTER

Page 32


STANDARDS AND DATA COLLECTION

Youth should also go outside to burn of their plentiful youthful energy, and at the same times, staff should supervise them.

Staff should encourage outdoor activities and it is essential for them to maintain contact with the residents at all times and in all area. Recreational events should be more than just a scheduled time for the residents to go outside.

It should promote physical activities that are available for the youth at the supervision of staff as part of the social interaction between them. Physical activity is known to be healthy way to exert energy establish a good behavior.

A various of indoor and outdoor spaces that support physical activity of all different kinds should be established to serve the youth. Education is an essential aspect of the youth’s daily activities.

Although it is commonly practiced in typical classroom spaces that are designed to encourage a variation of instructional activities, it can be carried out in the housing units or in outdoor areas.

Teachers should be able to handle a large or small groups, and to schedule special events as suitable for the various spaces: housing areas, outdoor courtyards, dining hall, visiting areas, etc.

All these different spaces should encourage education and be accessible during the school hours, as well as at other times if the staff desire to continue the learning process.

The architectural design of residential facilities for youth must be adaptable for them and encourage their positive enhancement, rather than restricting them in an undesired space.

Easy accessibility to and supervision of all program spaces, and the ability to use the different spaces at all times of the day are the essential elements of a successful design process.

3.7 Staffing Efficiency: •

STANDARDS AND DATA COLLECTION

Residential facilities aimed to serve the youth usually require a higher staffing ration than those of adult facilities.

It is important to understand the purposed for managing youth and engaging in positive activities that would enhance their abilities and skills. Most importantly is to redirect the youth and set them on the direct path that is crime-free and well behaved.

Staff ratio can be one staff per eight to twelve residents in the housing area of the juvenile facility. With larger units, the staffing ratio might increase to ensure the safety and appropriate interaction of the residents.

In the following table, a representation of space allocations for a 50-bed juvenile detention facility providing 620 square feet per resident is zoned to define the primary functional components.

3.8 Planning and Design Process: •

The planning and designing stage of a youth detention center is important to examine prior to building to ensure that the different needs for the youth are serviced. In order to understand all the requirements for the facility the goals of the facility have to be set forth.

In the case of designing for a secure residential facility for the youth, the different activities carried throughout the day have to be determined to develop the appropriate spaces and provide the right circulation to accommodate all the required programs and services.

The first step in the facility planning progress is the operational/architectural programming which aims to define the mission of the facility, the operational essentialities, such as management methods, and staff-to-resident rations, presented programs, and potential activities.

The number of staff required in the process of running the facility properly has to be determined along with an annual operational cost of the project. When all these different aspects are finalized, the architectural programming can beginning, and can be preceded by the environmental priories such as special character and the appearance of the building.

Other important factors such as building code requirements, security systems, and cost/site constrains have to be observed as well.

When all the above information is provided, a list of the different spaces, the capacity of each space along with its function has to be determined. The total space required, including the net usable areas and related factors such as additional spaces for circulation, walls, mechanical and electrical rooms are calculated, then a clear picture of the size of the project will be determined the cost of the construction can be predicted.

STANDARDS AND DATA COLLECTION

3.9 Space Requirements: •

Juvenile center can vary in size depending on the amount of people it will be serving, and the various programs and activities offered to the residents.

Short-term custodial facilities are approximately 500 – 650 square feet per resident, where as a long-term residential facility with an extensive educational and recreational services can reach up to 700 – 800 square feet per resident in order to accommodate educational, vocational, recreational, and rehabilitation programs. In general, smaller facilities tend to have more square feet per resident because they do not benefit from the economics of the scale.

For example, the space required for specific shared activities of a certain number of persons, such as food preparation, indoor recreation, and administration, are not averaged over a large number of residents.

Juveniles in secure detention centers do not normally leave the facility unless there is a special circumstance. Therefore, a number of related facilities that are essential to accommodate the life of a youth on a daily basis have to be provided.

The Sierra Center was developed and running in 1970 at the Sonoma Country Adolescent Program. This unique center is a ranch/camp program that is designed especially for female juvenile offenders from the ages 12-18. As the center proved great success, it was recommended that they also accommodate male offenders mainly because due to the minimum number of female offenders in the area. By 1981, the Seirra Center was open to both female and male offenders.

The purpose of the center was aiming to encourage involvement between the juveniles and the residents of the community to provide a unique interaction between them. This interaction demonstrated to be highly successful and thus encouraged the development of aftercare programs. The aftercare programs provide support, structure and accountability to the juveniles and their families to motivate them to have a better future and guarantee an easy transition to homes .

4.1.10 Space Distribution (Zoning) 

The Sonoma County Juvenile Center is located between vineyards, a regional park, and a luxurious retirement community. There are three main buildings for this complex.

They consist of a juvenile court, the juvenile probation office, and a secure detention facility. The design of this juvenile center specifically comprehends with the Sonoma vernacular.

The courthouse is made of a 2-story building that includes two courtrooms, whereas, the detention facility accommodates 140 beds in 20-bed ponds, as well as educational, healthcare and recreational facilities.

The Sonoma County Juvenile Center was awarded with the “Best Institutional Design” by the California Construction Magazine.

Sonoma County's new, modern Juvenile Hall, located in Santa Rosa, opened in December of 2005. The facility has the capacity to provide secure residential housing to 140 youths. In order to meet Sonoma County's needs well into the future, the building was designed to support expansion of up to 100 beds, providing the potential of a 240 bed facility.

A variety of housing types were incorporated to enhance program and management flexibility. Each of the seven housing units includes program, school and activity spaces designed to support a decentralized operational program for efficient use of staff and maintenance of safety and security.

The housing units were also designed with a focus on overall environmental quality, which reduces tensions and assists our Juvenile Correctional Counsellors in effectively managing the population.

DESKTOP STUDY  The juvenile offer will then decide in the youth should be placed in the detention center and if so, the Boone County Juvenile Center will be contacted to be given information regarding the juvenile, such name, date of birth, sex, race, offense, attitude, special condition, etc. When the juvenile is admitted into the center, the admission procedures follow.

4.2.5 THE EVALUATION PROGRAM  Placement of evaluation status is confirmed after the juvenile is committed into the center and prior to the hearing. An evaluation of the youth is then completed to determine their specific status and related issues. Later on, other evaluation procedures are also essential to determine the progress of the juvenile.  And at the case of a juvenile to be released another evaluation to determine the certainty of his/her status must be completed to determine their efficiency of their ability to go back into the community.

4.2.6 SHORT-TERM CARE PROGRAM  This program is aimed to provide the right communication between the juvenile and the supervising deputy juvenile officer.

4.2.7PLACEMENT PROGRAM  A placement program is for long-term juveniles who have to be admitted into the center for a long period of time to guarantee their improvement and the safety of the community.  After the completion of the placement program, a court order would determine if the juvenile has achieved a better status, his/her expectations improved, and if they are ready to be released into the community.

SITE ANALYSIS

7.1: SITE SELECTION CRITERIA:

 A correctional facility is a unique function on its own because, it provides inmates with various opportunities of rehabilitation. Therefore, the site selection for such a building is critical in order for it to provide the maximum benefits for the juveniles and the community. Two of the main aspects that are considered while choosing a site for a correctional facility are, the available space and the quality of the accessibility. It is also important to consider building in an area that could positively benefit from the facility in terms of creating new jobs, and at the same time not excluding the services of the facility in a place that is far away from where it is needed.  Although it has been commonly rejected that such facilities be located close to residential and commercial areas, these beliefs have been changing lately with the knowledge of embracing the juveniles in the community. This would probably benefit the surrounding neighbourhoods due to the various demands that are essential in a correctional facility, such as governmental, medical, residential, educational, infrastructural, and other services.  It is commonly believed that while choosing a site for a new prison or federal facility some factors should be considered. These factors include: Adequate available space for building pathways, roads, and parking Closeness and accessibility to major highways Local public and private support for the project Availability of the essential utilities such as water and electricity  Total site development costs Economic climate condition of the area Availability of providing infrastructure essentials for the new project, such as; schools, housing, and commercial. It is important to realize the importance and need of a JUVENILE CORRECTION & REHABILITATION CENTER

INTRODUCTION

S I T E

WHO IS A JUVENILE ?

LOCATION

A “Juvenile” or “Child” means a person who has not completed eighteen years of age. A boy or girl under 18 years of age is a juvenile or child under Section 2 (k) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act,2000. JUENILE DELIQUENCY Juvenile delinquency, also known as juvenile offending, or youth crime, is participation in illegal behavior by minors. Most legal systems prescribe specific procedures for dealing with juveniles, such as juvenile detention centers, and courts. OBJECTIVE :

Provide all the necessary requirements for detainees in the center. Offer proper housing and shelter spaces to ensure the safety of the juveniles and the staff. Provide food and clothing services. Provide proper health and medical care services. Provide learning and career transition services for the detainees to ensure they are offered the maximum encouragement to develop themselves and continue their education. Provide proper physical and emotional care. Psychological counseling and following-up for the juveniles is necessary to eliminate concerns of each detainee and ensure progress. Provide a fitness center to encourage physical health.

AIM :

The goal of youth detention centers is to care, teach, and discipline children and adolescences while providing them with a safe space for them to make constructive changes in their lives by providing proper basic Needs and Security, Educational, vocational and Health and Medical facilities.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION :

The society in India has been facing an increase in problems regarding youth groups and individuals that are committing crimes and misbehaviour actions that are mainly unsolved and ignored. In such a community with a limitation on resources for youth, it is necessary to recognize the importance of a “Juvenile Detention Center” in order to solve problems in the society properly and hope for a better future for the youth and general public. In 2011, the Juvenile crimes in India were 25,125., and 1.7 mn Juveniles accused of crimes , 64% of the Juveniles crimes were committed by those in the 16-18 age group. Keeping this mind, it is important to acknowledge that crime rate in India has been increasing due to many factors that are affecting the modern life. Relating the crime rate numbers to the juvenile offenders, it is observed that the problems of troubled youth has been steadily increasing, and there are no proper discipline programs that are developed to keep them away from committing more crime.

PROBLEM STATEMENT: A child is a part of society in which he lives. Due to this immaturity he is easily motivated by what he sees around him. Some of the

offences could be :burglary , stealing and petty thefts, murder , rape/molestation & sexual abuse , causing grievous hurt or injury to another ,other minor offences. Children in need of care and protection are children who are in specially difficult circumstances and they need to be protected by adults from all kinds of neglect , abuse or exploitation. It is the responsibility of adults to ensure “to every child a childhood”.
