"any develo2ing countries )ave done little or not)ing to deal wit) t)ese 2ro#lems. and
international 2rogrammers are o#viously insufficient! Develo2ed countries are engaged in activities aimed at uvenile crime 2revention. #ut t)e overall effect of t)ese 2rogrammers is rat)er wea/ #ecause t)e mec)anisms in 2lace are often inadequate to address t)e eFisting situation. "y village is also facing t)e 2ro#lem ! t)ere are many teen-age w)o are related to many crimes li/e drug addiction .smo/ing . t)ieving . )iac/ing

Social reformers started to create s2ecial facilities for
trou#led uveniles in t)e late nineteent) century!

()e 1B5+ C)ildren Act is t)e main law concerning c)ildren in 'anglades). #ut it deals #ot) wit) c)ildren in need of 2rotection8care as well as c)ildren in conflict wit) t)e law on one )and. ot)er laws. suc) as t)e enal Code. t)e Code of Criminal rocedure. t)e Su22ression of Liolence against 9omen and C)ildren Act. on t)e ot)er )and. also contain 2rovisions regarding c)ildren in conflict wit) t)e law!At 2resent. t)ere are t)ree s2ecialied uvenile courts esta#lis)ed in t)e country and t)ree s2ecialied institutions for t)e detention of c)ild offenders. w)ic) )ave #een renamed as t)e C)ild Develo2ment Centers among t)em. two centers for #o ys are located in (ongi and Jessore and t)e girlsH centre is in ?ona#ari!
T$e Develo!ment of Juvenile Delinquency =early all cultures 2ossess a transition 2)ase from c)ild)ood into adult)ood!
