Debate: For Young People in Conflict With the Law, Mere Rehabilitation Is Not Enough
What is required is deeper, more holistic and essentially restorative.

Raghu Raman’s article,
Don’t Let Juvenile Delinquents Become Repeat Offenders, Rehabilitate Them published on April 23, 2021, makes an appeal to society to invest in, emphathise with and rehabilitate young offenders. He posits that they are a small group and that “it makes more sense to rehabilitate slightly damaged juveniles than to suffer severely marred criminals”.
While we recognise the intent of the author for revisiting our justice processes relating to young offenders and the need to engage with them, we strongly disagree with Ramanâs account of these young people. We argue, merely empathising and rehabilitating young people in conflict with the law is not enough. What is required is deeper, more holistic and essentially restorative.
How to win the war against Covid-19
Raghu Raman
An all-hands-on-deck approach by citizens and organisations is needed to win this war. Political and ideological differences must be kept aside
Two million people perished during the bloody birth of our nation. The pandemic has claimed one-tenth of that number already. There is no negating its severity anymore because even the staunchest deniers are sick, dying or cremating their families. Our health infrastructure has already collapsed and we have yet to face subsequent waves as super-spreader melas and rallies start their transmission cycles. India is waging a third world war. And a nation at war cannot afford internal squabbling.
Don t Let Juvenile Delinquents Become Repeat Offenders, Rehabilitate Them
If not rehabilitated with empathy, juvenile delinquents can become hardened criminals with a great social cost.

All societies, to varying degrees, take care of their vulnerable, especially the children. This is not purely out of humanitarian concerns. Every citizen is a potential resource for the society. Consider a city with a few thousand orphans. How the city nurtures those orphans and builds them, determines the eventual productivity and contribution of those children as future citizens. The quantum of their contribution is directly proportional to the investment made on their health, education and social skills.
