Delhi registered an 11.5% increase in the number of crimes committed by juveniles in 2017 compared to the cases reported in 2016, shows the latest National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report released on Monday. With 35.2%, Delhi also had the highest percentage of the crimes committed by juveniles in 2017, among 19 metropolitan cities (with a population of more than 2 million).
The most common crime that the juveniles committed in Delhi was theft with 1,381 cases, the data shows.
Ramesh Negi, chairperson, Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) attribute the spurt in the number of cases to two major factors – one, the economically vulnerable families which go through stress that eventually converts into aggression and other kinds of deviance such as substance abuse.
“Juveniles from such backgrounds get exploited by criminal groups indulging in theft, snatching and even robberies. Second factor is the declining moral fabric of society where aggression and intolerance are considered fashionable. Such cases reflect the reduced influence of family and moral values, which need to be reinforced,” Negi said.
