10 years of Juvenile Justice Act: Has the law helped children reform or pushed more towards adult trials?

However, the effectiveness of juvenile homes and legal safeguards remains questionable after ten years. Significant issues include staff shortages and delays in processing cases, which hinder timely interventions. Many children are still not receiving adequate education and support in institutional care settings.
