According to National Crime Records Bureau, India, there has been a significant increase in criminal activities among juvenile over the past 3 years, especially in Uttar Pradesh in comparison to other Northern States. Various management strategies have been undertaken for such adolescents. However, there is a lack of management strategies in the Indian context for juvenile in conflict with law. Thus, this research work aims to see the effect of mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) on juveniles in conflict with law and not in conflict with law.
