Impact

Juvenile Act is implied for the betterment of children's future. But unfortunately the reality is unimaginable. The child, who comes to the remand home, is not criminal always. It is most of the time an unwanted child of the house or the parents are poor to raise this child.{{cite journal|title=A cross-sectional study of the sociodemographic profile of juveniles under institutional care in the city of Mumbai |journal=Journal of Family and Community Medicine|date=May–August 2011 |volume=18 |issue=2 |pages=87–90 |publisher=Medknow Publications |doi=10.4103/2230-8229.83376 |pmid=21897918 |pmc=3159235 | last1 = Pasi | first1 = AR | last2 = Shinde | first2 = RR | last3 = Kembhavi | first3 = RS | last4 = Kadam | first4 = DD |doi-access=free }}
