Main Body

The POCSO, 2012 Act has registered 2.4 lakh + cases till 2022 CNCRF data , yet falls short of objectives.

Success of POCSO, 2012:

1Framework for complaint = 2.4 lakh+ till 2022

2Punitive measure against perpetrators

3Provisions for Fast Track courts = early justice

4Uniform legal mechanism = to see ancestral to gender neutrality help in equal weight = clause against harassment is igneous news.

yet, falls short:-

1Limited awareness = could not limit some against

2Could not address some =

children = Eg Bihare sheltersome worst case awareness

wait case

3Delay in justice = limited capacity of Fast Track Court.

4Juvenile delinquency burden = Eg Allahabad Bais Jduure room = young boys aging girls

5Penalize consensual adolescent relations = weaponise appropriation of law

6Narrow in scope of definition of "child" = discrepancy with other laws (new need in BNS)

7Did not address online awareness = 80% girl children in pornographic websites displaces

8Could not address new age crimes = Eg children's displaces

way awareness generation → less education in schools → good touch/Bad touch → Foster dispensation of races

Reform to address new-age crime.
