ABSTRACT

Juvenile offending, a case in which the minors participate in unlawful activities is one of the
most rapidly growing problem in India, however still there is not a little attention paid by the
government or NGO sector to address this problem.
The major reasons for minors getting into such an act are dysfunctional family relationship and
poverty. These two again are inter related and thus go hand in hand. Another reason is the
availability of drugs which indulge them in such activities.
Therefore designing of the Juvenile correction homes where these people are treated, is a matter
of at most delicacy, which makes it complicated too. If they are not treated well, there lies a
chance of them getting into this practice which instead of solving a problem will create a greater
one. To understand the same, qualitative case studies, group discussions etc. have taken place to
identify the most common nature of the juvenile delinquency and its extent.
In this paper, the main focus is on providing all the necessary requirements for designing of these
centers, according to the acts and laws by the Indian government and provision of other
amenities in such centers.

CHAPTER 1

1.0 PREAMBLE

Children haven't perpetually received special treatment within the criminal justice system. Before
1850, there were no juvenile courts and a 12 years old child charged with murder would be tried
in an adult court, found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging, the most common penalty. The
children United Nations agency weren't sentenced to death were placed in harsh prisons with
adult criminals, where they learned effective ways of crime and Often became victims Of Other
Crimes. Even now a days many state machinery hides them in institutions where no outsiders are
allowed to tread, and leaves them to their devise with scant attention being paid to their well-
being and rehabilitation. On completion of their sentence they are flushed out, ill-equipped to
handle life outside of the institution. This treatment meted out to juvenile offenders is most
deplorable. especially when juvenile legislation recognizes that juvenile in conflict with law
conjointly need care and protection.
Juvenile Correction Homes
In criminal justice system, a youth detention centre, also known as a juvenile detention
centre, juvenile detention, juvenile hall or more colloquially as juvie, is a prison for people under
the age of majority, often termed juvenile delinquents, to which they have been sentenced and
committed for a period of time, or detained on a short-term basis while awaiting trail or
placement in a long-term care program. Juveniles go through a separate court system,
the juvenile court, which sentences or commits juveniles to a certain program or facility.
[CITATION wik \l 1033 ]

1.1 AIM

To develop a suitable environment capable of rehabilitation of its inmates into the society for
juvenile.

1.2 OBJECTIVES

 To study existing establishments of juvenile rehabilitation and analyze them in terms of


successful rehabilitation.

 To search for similarities and differences between a juvenile correctional facility and
educational and learning centers of young adults.

 To gather design interventions that motivate and nurture through built environment.

 To provide spaces which encourage and fulfills the need of the growing human being.

1.3 METHODOLOGY

The basic methodology that has been followed in the paper is that first all the raw data was
collected from all the existing studies and research papers. Then the case studies were looked
into. Another important field of study for this topic were the acts and policies by Indian
government on Juvenile.
The raw material was collected from different online and offline sources. Major raw material
came from the existing Research papers, thesis, online sites, case studies etc. A lot of data came
in from the library of SPA Delhi, from the books, journals, research papers, thesis etc existing
there.
Once all the raw data was collected, a comparative study was made to understand the designing
of these centers, along with what are the loop holes in already designed Juvenile correction
centers which helped to evaluate the complications and methods of designing the juvenile
correction centre.
1.4 SCOPE

The present study aims at the assessment of the educational and vocational programmes of
juvenile and observation homes in correcting the behavior of the juvenile delinquents. It is hoped
that the study would help the authorities of juvenile and observation homes to understand the
influence of vocational and educational programmes of both curricular and co-curricular aspects,
and how they affect the behavior of juvenile delinquents. The Investigator also intended to see
whether there was any significant relationship between the programmes given in these
institutions. In addition to this, the supplementary programmes provided in the Juvenile homes
such as recreational, health and spiritual programmes etc. were also taken in to account in this
study. It would also help us to understand the role of the teachers, instructors, and caretakers, in
the modification of behavior of the juvenile delinquents. The study would help the authorities to
get an awareness about the present status and functioning of Juvenile homes, and pitfalls if
any in the conduction of the programmes so that it can be rectified through suitable methods. It
would help to know the infrastructural facilities and other materials which are very essential for
imparting vocational training. The Investigator wishes to know whether the programmes are
effective or not in correcting the behavior of the delinquents. An Inventory was provided for this.
The study may give adequate guidelines for the authorities to suggest remedial measures for the
modifications of the behavior of these children.

1.5 LIMITATION

 This study has a limited sample size of case studies and cannot cover the entire spectral
of juvenile homes.
 There is an inability to analyse first hand data from juvenile delinquents.
 The trials and tribulations that arise while handling children by the administration are not
covered.

1.6 SIGNIFICANCE

Percentage of population is incarcerated in these facilities. A lack of an adequate environment


for rehabilitation and an increasing amount of disadvantageous situations lead them to a live full
of a crime. A study and intervention in these areas will lead to proper guidance and a fulfilling
life for a large number of people.
CHAPTER 2

2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW

" Youth offensive has been and still could be a social drawback across several countries; it's a


tangle that affects and shapes the terribly cloth of society. The problem with the youth
in trendy society is each a national concern and a very important subject for tutorial study."

Since the conception of young people's deviant behaviour as a


social drawback effort are created to place measures in situ to scale
back young offensive through analysis and community bar programs, that appear to
be terribly unsuccessful. Consequently, young offending exists in alarming rates, and
offenders end up in correctional facilities which are problematic institutions and inhumane
environments as will be discussed in due course.
The creation of Juvenile Detention Centers was aimed toward rehabilitation and protection
of young offenders from adult offender’s influence. However noble these intentions
were, it's become worrying that these centers in Asian nation square measure dehumanizing
and not contributing for rehabilitation. This topic interrogates Juvenile Correctional Centres
as an architectural typology, and explores their panoptic design philosophy and its effects. It
investigates the field of study and abstraction qualities which will facilitate the
rehabilitation of young offenders. Furthermore, it analyze the thought of community
amalgamation through the introduction of youth rehabilitation centers among communities
and creation of areas that enable communities to participate in rehabilitative activities for
young offenders. This topic culminates in the proposal of a Juvenile Detention Home, a new
architectural typology for the rehabilitation of young offenders that becomes a platform for
community participation and integration in India.

2.1 LITERATURE

2.1.1 JUVENILE DELIQUENCY

Juvenile delinquency, additionally referred to as "juvenile offending", is that the act of taking
part in unlawful behavior as minors (juveniles, i.e. people younger than the statutory age of
majority). Most legal systems order specific procedures for handling juveniles, like juvenile
detention centers and courts, with it being common that juvenile systems ar treated as civil cases
rather than criminal, or a hybrid therefrom to avoid sure necessities needed for criminal cases
(typically the rights to a public trial or to a jury trial).[ CITATION Wik1 \l 1033 ]

They too need sensitive and protective measures for suitable rehabilitation.

Some of the offences could be:

1. Burglary, stealing and petty thefts

2. Murder

3. rape/molestation & sexual abuse

4. Causing grievous hurt or injury to another

5. Other minor offences

Some of the factors that lead to juvenile crime are:

poverty: financial condition deprives kids of socio-cultural and economic opportunities for
growth and development, Poverty related circumstances like severe hunger, illness, addictions,
parental neglect, aggravate the situation. Such children are at greater risk than others of being
induced into crime.

Family: criminal acts of members of the family influence kids and typically they themselves
induct kids into offences.

Lack Of appropriate guidance and discipline: conflicting discipline, parental indifference,


abusive parenting can lead to poor self-image and personality problems, making children
accessible to negative influences outside the home.

Home situation: Disintegration of the "families at risk", severe family crisis, system, migration,
and urbanization has all weakened the positive and sustenance influence of family on the child.
Tension and emotional disturbances and abuse at home may drive the child away from the home
and Income exposed to criminal.

Victims Of abuse: analysis indicates a correlation between ill-treatment and later delinquency.

School dropouts: not attending school regularly in cutting, nourish in unhealthy leisure activities
and committing petty crimes to earn a living.
Exposure to media: exposure to media violence not solely will increase physical aggressiveness
in kids however additionally makes them additional acceptive of violence.[ CITATION DrN08 \l

2.1.2 JUVENILE CRIME RATE IN INDIA

 The community in India has been facing an increase in problems regarding youth
groups and individuals that are committing crimes and misbehavior actions that are
mainly unsolved and ignored.

 In such a community with a limitation on resources for youth, it is necessary to recognize


the importance of a "Juvenile Detention Center" in order to solve problems in the society
properly and hope for a better future for the youth and general public.
 In 2011, the Juvenile crimes in India were 25,125and 1.7 mm Juveniles accused of
crimes.
 Following this statistic, 64% of the Juveniles crimes were committed by those in the 16-
18 age group.
 Keeping this mind, it is important to acknowledge that crime rate in India has been
increasing due to many factors that are affecting the modern life.
 Relating the crime rate numbers to the juvenile offenders, it is observed that the problems
of troubled youth has been steadily increasing, and there are no proper discipline
programs that are developed to keep them away from committing more crime.
 Therefore, the essentiality of developing a proper program for the young offenders is
necessa1Y to give them a change for rehabilitation and hopefully guarantee character
improvement and enhance their skills and abilities to be better suited and released back
into the community. [ CITATION DrN08 \l 1033 ]

This research was exploratory in nature. Due to data limitations, it requires further study. In
future attempts the total sample size of inmates surveyed can be increased to verify the
conclusions reached in this study. In addition, describing the “quality” of juvenile homes was
over-simplified. In the future study, it can include more indicators, such as administration
structure and space construction, to better explore the contribution of the juvenile homes layout
to community attachment.
