Juvenile age is redefined

The Rajya Sabha (upper of house of the Parliament) passed a bill which will be prosecute those who are above 16 years old for heinous crimes(previously the age limit was 18years). This change came as the juvenile(nearly 18yrs old) was not brought to court and tried. But he was the prime accused of the heinous crime(rape and murder) As a matter of fact he is going to be released from the rehabilitation center after given skills and a proper shop to start business. This can even promote juveniles from committing heinous crimes. This had sparked debates in the Rajya Sabha where the bill for reduction of age for juveniles was pending.After analyzing crime and juveniles, this bill was passed. This is an important bill and will go a long way in checking the crime rates
The larger picture is that we have serious problems of high crime rates among the youth. With vast differences in incomes with large unemployment rates, crime does increase. That is why we have to modernize fast and stop crimes from happening. The problems are all inter-related.
