Juvenile refers to someone under theage of 18 the definition of an adult varies from nation to nation. In India, the Juvenile Justice Actmandates that juveniles convicted of misdemeanors be housed in institutions that offer therapeutic,educational, and vocational programs.The presence of a criminal milieu has influenced many young people to turn to criminal activity as ameans of self-expression. In this paper, we discuss two variables that contribute to juvenile recidivism.Firstly, in the adolescent population, a lack of parental oversight contributes to criminalmisbehaviour. Juvenile recidivism is fueled by peer pressure. Teenagers who are unemployed or earninglow wages are more likely to commit crimes. Secondly, mental health of juveniles is also a hot topicinternationally. Suicidal thoughts and behaviours are exacerbated by mental health issues. Depressiveillnesses, juvenile detention, and other societal issues combine to create a climate where youth rush toterminate their lives.In light of the 2012 Delhi rape case and after much debate, intensive conversation, and demonstrations,Indian Parliament enacted the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2015. The authorhas explained that howjuveniles can now be disciplined using new methodsunder new legislation andadequately implementing existing ones.  \nKeywords: Recidivism, Juveniles, Criminal law, Mental Health, JJ Act 2015  \n~~ X ~~  \nINTRODUCTION  \n“Juvenile recidivism” comprises two words, i.e., juvenile and recidivism. Juvenile means any person whois not an adult; the age criteria for who can be called an adult are different in every country. The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 defines a child as a person under the age of 18. As per the Cambridge dictionary, a juvenile is a young person who is not yet an adult. Such age brackets are required to determine whether the offender should be tried in a juvenile or ordinary court. However,“recidivism” is a concept of criminal jurisprudence. Recidivism literally means “a falling back” and often connotes “into bad habits.” It’s derived from the Latin word recidivus, which means “recurring.” The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) defines recidivism as a person’s return to criminal activity after receiving punishment or assistance for a prior offense.  \nJuvenile recidivism refers to a minor ’s conviction and imprisonment for a new crime after serving a prior offense. Incarceration has a significant impact on recidivism, particularly among youngsters. A minor ’s exposure to hardened criminals increases as a result of jail, and gaining the essential skills to obtain work becomes more difficult. Stereotypes about criminals make youngsters’ lives even more complex and encourage them to commit crimes. Various socio-economic variables, such as financial condition and age, have a role. Criminal activity and recidivism are more common among children from low-income families. India saw a drastic increase in juvenile recidivism from 2015 to 2018 (11 . 16%) .
