A book on juvenile justice in India was published in June 2004. Written by Dr. Ved Kumari, Professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Delhi, "Juvenile Justice System in India: From Welfare to Rights" contains an exhaustive overview of the historical, legislative, executive, and judicial processes relating to juvenile justice in India. It seeks to identify the parameters and constraints of the juvenile justice system in India and specifically to describe the nature, scope and structure of juvenile justice in India.
