• CONCLUSION
THE JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION OF
JUVENILE JUSTICE
• The role of the police officer in the Justice system is noteworthy and has an evident impact
on the juvenile.
• Juvenile Police
• It is principally the police who arrests the juvenile and produces him before the Juvenile
Justice Board. Hence, a juvenile’s first contact with the juvenile justice system is through
the police.
• It is seldom, that a juvenile is produced by a non-public party or voluntary organization,
a non-public party or voluntary organization producing a juvenile before the Juvenile
Justice Board ought to preferably inform the police regarding such production.
• Pending production before Board, the juvenile is to be kept within the Observation Home.
Under no scenario should a juvenile be kept within the police lock-up or jail. (section 47)
• Juvenile Law requires that minors to be separated from adults while in detention, at court
rooms while awaiting trials, and during the transportation to attend court hearings or
from one detention to another, or after concluding court sessions. [SEPARATION AND
JOINERS OF THE TRIALS INVOLVING CHILD AND ADULT]
• Objects and Reasons of JJA 2000 embody ‘creating special juvenile police units with a
humane approach through sensitization and training of police personnel . Consequently,
JJA 2000 states the setting-up of the SJPU in each district and town, and also the
designation of a minimum of one police officer hooked up to a police headquarters as “the
juvenile or the child welfare officer”
• The Law also underlined the obligation of to provide children, upon arrest, with
sociopsychological support. Also “if the child is arrested by the police in cases of flagrante
offence, the child should be immediately transferred to the juvenile police.”
• SECTION 11 OF THE JUVENILE JUSTICE CARE AND PROTECTION OF CHILDREN RULES
TALKS About : PRE and POST – PRODUCTION ACTION OF POLICE AND OTHER
AGENCIES
• The police should then “notify the child’s guardian and The SJPU or juvenile welfare officer
should inform the parent or guardian or any other person of the juvenile’s choice and also
the child protection officer.” regarding the juvenile’s apprehension. The juvenile police
may retain the child maximum for 24 h before transferring him to the prosecution. It is the
police who investigates a juvenile case, and submits the charge-sheet before the
competent authority and also on completion of inquiry, accompany the juvenile to the
Special Home, or to his place of residence when below eighteen years of age.
SPECIAL JUVENILE POLICE UNIT (
SECTION 107)
• Special juvenile police unit includes the Police officer as the head not below the rank of the
deputy superintendent of police or above , one officer not below the rank of the assistant sub-
inspector , with aptitude , appropriate training and orientation may be designated as the ; law
enforcement officials who oftentimes or exclusively manage juveniles or are primarily engaged
within the prevention of juvenile crime or handling of the juveniles or youngsters under this Act
to perform their functions more effectively; they shall be specially tutored and trained and two
social workers having experience of worki9ng in the field of child welfare , out of whom one
shall be a Woman.
• In every police headquarters, a minimum of one officer with the ability and appropriate
training and orientation is also designated as the ‘juvenile or the child welfare officer’ who can
handle the juvenile or the child in coordination with the police.
• Special juvenile police unit, of which all the law enforcement officials designated as above, to
handle juveniles or youngsters will be members, may be created in each district and town to
coordinate and to upgrade the police treatment of the juveniles and the children.
POLICE AS A PROTECTOR OF JUVENILE
INTEREST
• Police & Juvenile Delinquency
• Police officers wear many hats when it comes to juvenile delinquency. Police officers
have lots of discretion when it comes to how they handle a case or person.
• Because federal and state laws protect juveniles from the harshest types of sanctions,
police officers tend to approach juvenile crime a little differently. There is oftentimes a
little more leniency from officer to juvenile, but of course this would depend on the
crime committed. Officers have options when it comes to how they choose to address
juvenile delinquency. Depending on the type of crime committed, they can arrest a
suspect, but they can also let him or her go, or refer the offender to a social service
agency for help.
• Police & Juvenile Prevention
• Police officers do have a responsibility to serve and protect, but they also play a
significant role in the prevention of crime.
• Many law enforcement agencies are taking a more modern approach to solving
crime. In this more modern approach, things like community policing and linkages
with community organizations serve a very important purpose to reduce crime
through more rehabilitative methods. There are several law enforcement
programs that exist throughout the country where a strong
prevention/rehabilitative agenda is enforced.
CONCLUSION & SUGGESTIONS:
• Police are charged with protecting the public from crime and protecting the law and order. For
juveniles, police protection might call for removing children from an abusive home or
transporting them to a shelter or hospital if they've been abandoned.
• Police officers sometimes partner with education officials and teachers to deter criminal
behavior among youngsters. Officers visit classrooms as invited guests to warn students about
the consequences of taking and selling drugs, as well as talking to or walking away with
strangers who might want to harm them.
• Community leaders in some states recognize that police officers need training to work with a
growing population of juvenile offenders. Police chiefs generally want officers to learn the skills
needed to work more effectively with young offenders, but often lack the funds and resources
for training.
• Areas in which police need training include substance abuse; bullying, including cyber-bullying;
gang activity; sexual, physical and emotional abuse; and chronic criminal behavior.
