Juvenile delinquency refers to criminal or antisocial behavior committed by minors under the age of 18. According to the Geeks for Geeks website, it encompasses a range of illegal acts and status offenses that would be considered crimes if committed by adults. While juvenile delinquency is not a major social problem in India, with only about 3% of all crimes committed by juveniles, it remains a concern for families, communities, and the justice system.
