Legal and Psychological Determinants of Antisocial Behaviour Among Delinquent Youth

Author(s) Dr. Urvashi Sharma
Country India
Abstract Antisocial behaviour among delinquent youth in India has emerged as a critical concern for policymakers, mental health professionals, and the juvenile justice system. Despite ongoing reforms under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, the interaction between psychological vulnerabilities and structural legal conditions remains underexplored. This study examines how factors such as impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, family instability, and exposure to community violence intersect with legal determinants including police procedures, socio-legal disparities, and institutional responses within India’s juvenile justice framework. By synthesizing empirical findings and contextual analyses, the study highlights how socioeconomic marginalization, inconsistent rehabilitation resources, and variations in legal processing contribute to the persistence of antisocial behavior among Indian youth offenders. The findings emphasize the need for integrative approaches that couple psychological assessment with culturally grounded legal reforms, strengthening rehabilitation, diversion programs, and long-term preventive strategies. This work aims to advance a more holistic understanding of youth delinquency in India while offering evidence-based recommendations for improving juvenile justice outcomes.
