Amid rising concerns over juvenile delinquency in Assam, the state’s police chief has announced new initiatives to address this growing issue. These measures include enhancing community policing efforts, providing mentorship programs for at-risk youth, and working with schools and social organizations to prevent juvenile crimes. With more young individuals being involved in offenses ranging from petty theft to violent crimes, the authorities are focusing on both prevention and rehabilitation.
The police chief has emphasized that addressing the root causes, such as socio-economic factors and family issues, is critical in tackling juvenile delinquency. The police will collaborate with local authorities and parents to implement these initiatives and reduce youth crime rates in Assam.
