Abstract :

Delinquency itself is socially inadequate adjustment on the part of the individual to difficult situations. Each juvenile offense is the outcome of a complexity of causes, some of whose origins date back years before the committal of the offense and others whose origins are more obviously and immediately connected with the act of delinquency. It has been shown that a different set of causes is involved in each individual case. The factors which operate to turn a child‘s behaviour in one direction rather than another may be very obscure, many as yet are beyond the detection of expert sociologists, psychologists, physiologists and others. This pilot study aimed to identify the effectiveness of Neurocriminology module on Juvenile Delinquents in Indian scenario. After data analysis, research concludes that neurocriminology modules are effective in reducing anti-social traits and helps to gain prosocial behaviour and thereby, can reduce recidivism in Indian Scenario.
