Abstract:
Delinquent behaviour does not start at birth. Most young people become delinquents because of Bangladesh's socio-legal environment, not because they choose to. With more kids engaging in illegal activities, juvenile delinquency has been a severe worry in recent years. However, male and female offenders are becoming more numerous every day and engaging in various crimes, including robbery, hijacking, carrying weapons and substances that are prohibited, killing, trafficking, smuggling, and fraudulent activities. They have suffered from various socioeconomic factors, including deprivation, lack of direction, excessive satellite television viewing, improper internet use, peer pressure, and others. Therefore, the current social structure is ruining children's childhood, resulting in the denial of their rights. For instance—living with the family, education, health, games, care, and defence. Children must be treated with special consideration, positive attention, and a child-friendly attitude for their protection and prevention. The current trends and important sociolegal causes of juvenile delinquency in Bangladesh are examined in this thesis.
