ANTISOCIAL FACTORS AND BIOLOGICAL HAZARD RESPONSIBLE FOR JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IN BANGLADESH: A CLINICAL APPROACH TOWARDS DURABLE SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Let the boys explore the positive geographical channel so no evil temporal could touch their innocent souls. The transformation of childhood into adulthood is a changeover period exploring some rigorous physical and mental attributes. Though this transformation is a regular phenomenon with some common traits, sometimes extraordinary mannerisms might be seen as the X factor. This paper attempted to work with these traits to evince the factors responsible for delinquent behavior on the part of some classified children who carry X factors. Juveniles carrying inbuilt biological risks are a potential threat to the family concern in the matter of guiding and nourishing boys and girls of that age. This paper has explored the variety of factors responsible for juvenile delinquency in Bangladesh, resorting to both primary and secondary data, using empirical tools like visiting juvenile offenders in a safe home, sharing experiences of the parents of potential juvenile offenders in Dhaka and Chittagong, visiting concerned police personnel, visiting a few victims of juvenile delinquency, etc. This paper has also addressed international and domestic laws, local practices, effective tentative strategies, and durable solutions. This paper has shaped some common but unveiled causes and factors responsible for juvenile perversion and possible way-out.
