Abstract

A nation's youth are one of its most valuable resources. The law is a tool for helping youngsters reach their greatest potential. His growth is hampered by youth misbehaviour. So far, the law has responded by using both a carrot and a stick strategy. While many academic fields strive to comprehend young people and their actions, where neurology offers value.The lawmakers of our country are the products of the same society, a society which feels the criminalization of the juvenile system is the only way forward when dealing with the new breed of super predators. The act which deals with juvenile criminals in our country is the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (“The Act”). The primary focus of the paper will be on the development of the juvenile brain during their adolescent years and how their psychological and neurological deficiencies mitigate their criminal culpability.The study uses an exploratory approach to examine how Indian constitutional law, legislative standards, and developmental neuroscience treat juvenile justice. The take on the methodical direction of juvenile responsibility and reform is presented in the paper's conclusion.
