Recommendations
1. At every police station, there should be separate register about child/ juveniles. When the senior
Police Officer go the visit of police stations they would write down in the visitor book after inquiring
for the number of arrested child or juvenile and  their age another steps which have been taken,
seeing the register book.
2. Separate FIR should be given for juvenile delinquents and according to the existing traditional the
FIR should be in three copies. Regarding advantages to the trial of juveniles it should be made four
copies. As they change of the existing Rule is a matter of time, so the procedure may be carried on
doing a photocopy of the original FIR having attestation by the Officer-in-Charge of the police
station. This excess copy should be sent to the Juvenile Court.
3. Duties of Probation Officers steps should be taken to set up juvenile Prison Home, Correctional
Institutes along with Juvenile Court in other divisional cities. For implementing program, necessary
initiatives should be taken by the Ministry of Social Welfare.
4. Almost the one third is female juveniles according to references. As there is no separate
arrangement for them, they are passing disgusting life in the jails without being able to return to the
normal life. So, it is necessary to set up a separate female juvenile correctional institute at Dhaka for
the female juveniles under the supervision of the Ministry of Social welfare.
5. The Social Welfare Department has to take initiatives to find out the juvenile delinquents, which
are kept in different jails. Permanent Probation Officers should be appointed in districts for the
betterment of probation management. The duty of Probation Officers should be the management
probation for the children and first offender who have committed crime for the first time and if
necessary After-care-services should be introduced.
6. The arrangement of Remand Home, Juvenile Court or Institute for correctional Services at every
Districts for the children or juveniles are yet not possible and so separate arrangement are advised
to be accepted. The jail authorities of Central and District jails should take necessary steps to keep
the child and juveniles separate from adults.
7. With the assurance of first trial, the separate procedure should be taken for the juveniles of safe-
custody. They should have to be a correctional centre. So, the mentality to behave rudely with the
convict should be prohibited. The separate Register Book (R.B) should be made for juvenile
offenders like the under trial prisoner and Convicted Prisoner Register.
8. Every month the lists of the under-trial prisoner and convicted juveniles should be sent to the I.G
(Prison), concerned District Social Welfare Officers, Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliament Affaires,
and other concerned organizations.
9. The jail authority should have taken the steps to display separate clinical facilities considering the
Physical and psychological structure of the child juveniles. The jail authority should keep good look
over the convicted prisoners who are in-charge of inside the jail administration such as World Head,
Writer, Mate, Night Guard etc. They should show with human and sympathetic attitude towards the
children and juveniles.
10. The steps of separate conveyance instead of prison-van should be allowed during their
attendance before the court. Necessary all arrangements should be made so that the studying (any
Institutional School or Girl’s School) child or juveniles can continue their study during the period of
detention without and disturbance or hamper.
11. The introduction of religious and moral education should be made compulsory for the juvenile
delinquents. In buildings up one’s human character and moral personality the influence of religious
and moral education need to be duly emphasized. A man who is really pious and have the fear of
God always keeps in mind about his life after death and his accountability of every of his actions
during life to be God This fear of the judgment of actions in the life after death keeps a pious man
always abstain from committing any violation of the existing laws, norms moral values etc. Not only
in the fear of people’s blame about his deed rather due to the liability towards God.
12. A situation should be created to keeps him aside from committing any such action. If the children
from their childhood are assisted with this religious and moral education, a statuary influence will be
created upon their character and personality. Therefore, ethical education should be imparted to
young minds so as to guide them properly.
13. The juvenile justice administration system should be adopted under the provisions of juvenile
justice (care and protection of children) Act, 2004 satisfactorily. The involvement of Judicial
Magistrate and Police should still play a dominant role in the working of the Act which should have
been assigned to social service organization. Social based education and social awareness is most
essential for the protection of the children from delinquents.
14. For the protection of Juvenile Delinquency in Bangladesh the burden duty fall upon state to
initiate adequate measures to safeguard children  and juveniles against exploitation, deprivation and
criminalization as they are a valuable nation asset, besides being the future citizens of Bangladesh.
Otherwise the nation will fall in serious problem that can be major.
15. The government shall establish Children’s Home for the reception of child in need of care and
protection. The government also need established of Shelter Homes for destitute and shelter less
children. The main object of providing Shelter Homes shall ensure protection and restoration of
destitute and neglected children.
16. In view of the above findings it is humbly submitted that many of the sections of the Penal Code
1960, Vagrancy Act, 1943 and Children Act, 1974 are to be amended to cope with changed social
situation. Sections 82 and 83 of the Penal Code, section 2 (3) of the Vagrancy Act and section 2 (f),
2 (j), section 7 (1), (2), section 13 (5), section 46, section 31 (1), section 32, 33, section 51 (2),
section 53, section 78 are to be amended in order to update juvenile delinquency law in Bangladesh.
17. In Bangladesh the Government should constitute Central or District Advisory Board in every
District as the case may be, to advise the government on any of the following maters,
a. Establishment of Special Homes.
b. Management of Children Home, Special Homes and Shelter Homes.
c. Mobilization of resources for running these homes.
d. Education training and rehabilitation of children who need care and protection.
e. Ensuring co-ordination sand co-operation among various of official and non-official agencies and
organization.

Others Challenges
Lack of logistic support is one of the reasons behind non-implementation of the Act. The arrangement
necessary for compliance with the Act is not adequate at all. There are only three correctional centers in
this country. So it is not possible in each case to send the juveniles from all over the country to these
centers due to shortage of fund, vehicle and manpower.  Hence, juveniles are generally kept in jails with
prisoners. Again the Act in these cases stipulates separate arrangements for juvenile offenders, and in
most cases it is also far away from the practice. Jails in our country are over crowded, so it is not
logically possible to make any arrangements for juvenile offenders. Since most of the magistrates have
legal backgrounds, they do not understand the inner meaning of a specific law. Most of the magistrates
are unaware of the existence of the Children Act, 1974.[72]
     When youthful offender is arrested, his/her lawyers in most cases conceal his/her age to the court
and move for his/her bail. This creates negative impact on the juveniles. In addition to this if, any lawyer
tutors witnesses to tell lies in order to secure the bail of a juvenile, the juvenile, the juvenile is
encouraged to commit offences.
     The probation officers are coming from different disciplines; as a result lack of professionalism is
evident. In the districts where there is no probation officer, social welfare officer has to execute extra
jobs of probation officer.
     Most of the adult persons do not adult persons do not have adequate knowledge about the rights of
children. As a result, in most cases, adults’ behaviour towards children is not always supportive of the
welfare and overall development. The weakest point is children cannot also force the authority to
protect their own rights. There is no strong and effective children’s organization, especially in the rural
areas, through which children can organize themselves in order to protest against violent activities.

This study is for the youths who are involved to do juvenile acts. What are the reasons why they do
delinquent act and how they react on their surroundings . And what offenses they will be made for them
to suffer at very young age. we do believe that it is not they want, it is just that they don't properly
raised by their parents and they don't have the chance to explore more of themselves by the help of
schooling. Sometimes we tend to do such things that against the law because of the thinking that life is
unfair. Everyone of us has an opinion regarding this matter. As we go beyond the study we will learn
more about juvenile delinquency especially to the opinions of our respondents.
