Wordsworth has aptly said "child is the father of man". In fact it is the youth, who are the future of a nation. And if the youth power is properly managed, shaped and directed to right path, the future of the society and nation will be safe and secure. Deviance of youth is caused due to many factors-social, economic and political. Growing unemployment, directionless future prospects, indiscipline, corruption and nepotism in public services and life, degrading socio-political milieu—all these lead to youth unrest. This book addresses many such issues, which are responsible for youth unrest and juvenile delinquency. The major topics, given elaborate treatment herein are-Growth of Agitation due to Youth Unrest; Indian Society and Unemployment; Sociology of Juvenile Delingquency and Disorganisation; Communication, Alcoholism and Communal Violence in India; Terrorism and Crime in India, and Child Abuse, Labour and Drug Abuse.
