Children cannot be held fully responsible for the small or big crimes they do knowingly or unknowingly. Juvenile crimes to an extent are increasing due to the blindness of our Society. Children are innocent but they can commit a crime for the following reasons.

1. Economic problems

Poverty or the urge to acquire expensive items for themselves can make them steal things. In most cases, poverty has nothing to do with crime but children are innocent they can do silly things.

2. Domestic violence

Domestic violence can disturb children’s or adolescents’ peace of mind. In a chaotic frame of mind, they can do wrong things.

3. Insufficient knowledge and awareness

Children don’t know what types of behavior are acceptable and offensive to society. Forget about society, they don’t even know what is good and bad for them. Lack of awareness is another reason why there is so much juvenile crime in the world.

4. Bad companions or friends

Children’s friends have a great impact on their behavior. If they make bad friends, they can commit a crime. Children’s bad friends may belong to a family of criminal background.

5. Fear of failure

Children are pressurized so much that they can take a wrong step just because they are so fearful of failure. Children should understand there is no shortcut to success.

6. Lack of parents interaction

Parents are super busy with their work. They are not giving enough time to their children. They don’t even notice the type of friends they are making and their neighborhood.

7. Social rejection

Society follows certain norms and rules everyone has to follow the proven rules including children. Some of the children do not like the way society accepts or rejects people. They do something wrong to impress society.
