Abstract

The term Juvenile Delinquency is a legal term that is used to describe when children below the age of 18 get engaged in any illegal activity. It is one of many important concerns in today's world. To explore the neuropsychology of juveniles -we took 30 research and analyzed the factors behind these behaviours. Research shows that juvenile offenders have significant deficits in executive functioning, memory retention, language skills, and attentional capacity. These deficits are associated with neurodevelopmental abnormalities in frontal cortex maturation. We prioritized the factors that were leading them to develop this behavior. The paper advocates for a transformation in societal attitudes, endorsing evidence-based methods to revamp juvenile justice systems. By emphasizing development and reintegration rather than punishment, it aims to break the cycles of criminal behavior and enable young people to create prosperous futures within their communities.
