Protection from Damnation: AGE (Juveniles as SEXUAL OFFENDERS)

We always consider children as a face of God and hence protect them, always say that children are innocent and immature and try not to be harsh on them, but what if that child takes a face of Satan: the devil, will or should we still consider them as the same old innocent child. When a child or a juvenile commits a heinous crime such as RAPE or any SEXUAL OFFENCE, why are they not treated as actual criminals, why are they not sent away, why are they still treated as small children? The following article will try to open a door of your mind and will let you question the Indian Justice System, will let you think are these predators actually children who are immature and should not be treated as actual criminals. The writer via this article will help you understand the consequences of not having strict punishments for juvenile rapists. Will help you understand that AGE should not used as an armor by the juvenile rapists and that always letting them go without any strict penalty is not good for the future of India. According to NCRB in 2017, in India 1456 sexual offences were committed by juveniles. Studies show that juveniles are not treated harshly because they haven’t attained that maturity level or that they should be given second chance at life. In Nirbhaya Rape case when a juvenile was convicted, Enakshi Ganguly said, “Young people are easier to bring in to an offence, because they are easier to influence and brainwash” then the same should be taken in consideration for adult rapists because brainwashing someone and bringing them into an offence is easy. Hope this study will help you open a door for a new type of justice
