Question

JUVENILE CRIMES IN INDIA In recent years, India has seen a manifold increase in crimes committed by minors. While analyzing the factors responsible for the spurt in crime rate, the experts believe that the rural urban conflict is at the core of these crimes. The large rural and semi- urban background of most of the offenders point to that direction. According to the researchers, these young people are not benefitted from the economic reforms in comparison to their educated and professional counterparts in the cities. They feel neglected, frustrated and distressed which leads to crimes such as murder, etc. An increase in the number of rural people migrating to cities in search of better life opportunities however does not prepare them for the urban value system. The children are often neglected, as both parents go for work and are thus unable to spend quality time with them. The children do not get the attention and the right values essential for upbringing. Give your opinion about the above and suggest remedial measures.​
