Write short note on ‘Juvenile Justice Act'.
The Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act was launched in 1986 with a view to providing a uniform pattern of justice to the Juveniles throughout the length & breadth of the country. The Act makes provision for the protection & rehabilitation of neglected children & & ensures that legally no child is lodged in jail or detained in police lock-up. The JJ Act categorizes children into
(i) those who are neglected, destitute, orphaned & in dire need of care & protection. They are lodged in an orphanage, observation homes or remand homes and
(ii) Delinquent children who await correctional measures.
