Abstract
India has a population of 1.21 billion, of which children constitute 38 to 40% of the total population (Statistics and Program Implementation, Government of India, 2012). Legal issues of children need attention in order to provide care and protection for children. To understand the various psycho-social factors of children in conflict with the law, the responsibility of social workers is superb. Juvenile delinquency is one of the social problem and some recent incidents in India highlight the need to work deeply with this population. Children who have committed crimes will have to face the scars and will remain in the Children's Home until such cases are completed.
