criminals in Naguru Remand Home. The research establishes the causes of juvenile
delinquency along with its legal effects, the progra1mnes or activities at the remand home, the
challenges faced in rehabilitating juvenile delinquents and in addition to how the problems

address and prevent before it can cause devastating consequences. The process of going
tlu·ough the fonnal criminal justice system can also be deeply disturbing for children so,
every effort should be made to keep young people out of this system by making use of
altematives wherever possible. Once a young person has been branded a criminal by going
