A Study on Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Juvenile Delinquency in Haryana

Juvenile delinquency remains a very significant concern in India, particularly in Haryana, where shifting socio-economic landscapes as well as the family structures contribute to increasing youth crime. This study investigates the social and monetary backgrounds of 245 juvenile delinquents housed in statement houses throughout Haryana, focusing on factors such as house, own family shape, caste, schooling, peer influence, parental reputation, and substance use. Using a descriptive case-sectional design, data were collected via interviews, established questionnaires, and respectable statistics. Findings imply that most juveniles come from semi-city areas, nuclear or broken families, low-income backgrounds, and showcase low levels of training. High peer influence, absence of parents, and substance abuse have also been considerably related to delinquency. The look underscores the urgent need for multi-pronged interventions, comprising instructional retention programs, family counseling, and economic aid schemes, to mitigate delinquency rates.
