ABSTRACT

In India, the girls are introduced to Juvenile judicial procedure due to discriminatory and derogatory circumstances faced by them at home as well as in society. It has been observed that such circumstances forced the female juvenile delinquents to elope from home and commit various offences. Consequently the society symbolise them as an offender. Absence of a special law for female Juvenile delinquents has debarred them from getting justice. Also the deteriorating conditions of Juvenile Reform Centres and exploitation of female Juvenile delinquents by the authorised officers drive them towards committing sexual offences and other related activities. Juvenile delinquency is a global issue under which the number of female Juvenile delinquents is increasing vigorously.

Key words: Juvenile, Justice, Female, Relation
