Juvenile crime rates in Jharkhand have been steadily increasing, with minors being involved in thefts, assaults, and substance abuse. The rise in juvenile offenses has raised concerns among law enforcement, prompting a series of interventions by the Jharkhand Police. Juvenile crime hotspots are often linked to socio-economic factors, such as poverty and lack of education, which makes it difficult for young individuals to stay on the right path.
In response, the Jharkhand Police have intensified efforts to engage with vulnerable youth through outreach programs, offering counseling and alternative activities. Special rehabilitation centers have been set up for juveniles who have committed crimes, where they can undergo education and skills development. The police have also partnered with social workers and NGOs to educate children about the consequences of criminal behavior and provide mentorship.
