Shortage of homes in different States; though states like Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Bihar have reported high incidence of juvenile crimes under IPC during the year 1996, we find that in Madhya Pradesh there are just two Juvenile Homes, three Special Homes and one After-Care Organisation, in comparison to the magnitude of the crimes committed by juveniles (23.7 per cent);6 It cannot be ignored that despite all the goals set by the Juvenile Justice Act, 1986, many States were reported to have pendency level in the disposal of apprehended juveniles.
On ne peut pas ne pas voir qu'en dépit de tous les objectifs fixés par la Loi sur la justice pour mineurs, 1986, beaucoup d'États ont signalé de nombreux cas de mineurs appréhendés dont l'affaire était en souffrance.
