Summary Introduction

Introduction

Juvenile or youth detention centers are establishments for people below the age of 18 years who have committed a crime. Juvenile delinquents are placed in juvenile training centers for a specific period of time either before their court trial or for the purpose of rehabilitation. However, these centers have not been very successful in helping juveniles to overcome their behavioral issues, rather they enhance their motivation to re-offend.
