Abstract
Behaviour of children and adolescents is a growing concern all over the world. Children are future of any country but unfortunately they are the most neglected group in Pakistan. According to statistics, young people (15-24 years) living in Pakistan numbered 36 million in 2004. One of the major problems is children’s involvement in crimes and this issue is becoming very grave. There are different reasons for children’s commitment of crimes. These include poverty, joblessness, as well as thrill and action. In jail, they face difficult time and most of them come out with the stigma of “criminal” which continues to haunt them in their life and affect their personality, family and society at large. The need is to implement the existing laws and identify the reasons of increase in crime and take actions to decrease the rate of crime in this age group.
