 Cons For Juvenile Justice Act
 It puts adolescent offenders at risk.
Adult prisons are places where juveniles can be easily abused
and harmed. They can also be exposed to more crime and join
gangs.
 It can be taken as a sign of lost hope.
Young offenders could take it as a message that they have no
future and no hope of becoming something else other than a
criminal.
 It limits the type of punishment.
Juvenile courts can recommend counseling, house arrest and
other forms of punishment rather than just giving a jail
sentence.

achieve the desired goal of the welfare of the children.

 The society must encourage children's participation in matters

affecting their rights as services to the children are no longer a
charity.

 The judiciary has played an appreciable role and contributed a

lot in the proper and beneficial implementation of the juvenile
justice legislation.
