CIS Master Trainers, addressing the participants during the course. One-day Courses on Juvenile Justice for the Chairpersons and Members of Child Welfare Committees, Probation Officers, Members of Juvenile Justice Boards/Child Protection Societies/ District Child Protection Units, and members of Special Juvenile Police Units etc of Himachal Pradesh Delinquency in juveniles is not a new phenomenon. It always existed in society and used to be dealt with, either in consonance with social norms or within the legal parameters. However, the objective always being to mend, counsel and rehabilitate the erring child. The incidence of delinquency besides being very less was relatable to minor offences. But, what now baffling the law enforcement agencies is the increasing rate as well as the seriousness of the offences committed by the children. The traditional school of thought that deprivation of basic necessities is the root cause of crime in children as they tend to achieve those very things by resorting to crime, is fast fading away. This principle may explain commission of certain offences by juveniles, but does not hold good when the offence is of sexual abuse or murder. How far letting off a child leniently, who is proved to have committed a very serious offence, can really help the child as well as the society, was the question asked in post Nirbhaya period. It is a matter of fact that institutionalization of child care and protection has not given the desired results. There are instances of sexual abuse, assault and forced labour to which the inmates were subjected either by the care takers themselves or they were instrumental in one way or the other, causing same on the children. So, there is shift towards non-institutional procedures for children who are in need of care and protection. A comprehensive legislation namely, The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 205, repealing all previous laws on the subject, was enacted by the Parliament and it came in to force on 2st September, 206. Various legislative provisions of this Act and Rules HIM NEWS, VOLUME 7. ISSUE 2.DECEMBER, 208 Page No 7
framed there under, mandate the Centre as well as the State Governments to give due publicity of the Act and also hold periodical/induction training to the stakeholders who have to discharge their duties under the Act. With this purpose, the Academy conducted three Courses on Juvenile Justice which were attended by 90 participants i.e. Chairpersons and Members of the CWCs, Members of Juvenile Justice Board/ Child Protection Societies/ District Child Protection Units/ Special Juvenile Police Units and Managerial Staff of Child Care Institutions of Himachal Pradesh.
