This book offers a sociological exploration of street children in
India and what pulls and pushes them into delinquency, at a time
when the government of India is contemplating strengthening its
juvenile justice system. It draws on in-depth, qualitative research
carried out by an NGO which included unstructured and structured
interviews with over 600 children as well as stakeholders. Through
the stories of Indian children, this book examines the major
factors which together play a crucial role in their engagement in
deviant behaviour as they grow up. However, the authors argue that
they should not be viewed not as a dangerous threat but as the
country's most valuable resource. The authors conclude that a
punitive strategy may not be the best option, advocating instead
for a focus on restorative justice which has been found to be
effective and beneficial alongside other strategies which help
strengthen families and enhance parenting skills.
