Gaps in Child Protection Laws : A Critical Analysis of The Effectiveness of the POCSO Act, 2012

Gaps in Child Protection Laws” is a well-researched and thought-provoking study on the effectiveness of India’s child protection laws in safeguarding the rights and dignity of children. Despite a strong legal framework under acts such as the POCSO Act, Juvenile Justice Act, and other related legislations, numerous gaps persist—leaving children vulnerable to abuse, exploitation, and neglect.

This book analyzes existing legal provisions, judicial interpretations, and enforcement mechanisms, highlighting inconsistencies and implementation failures. It discusses landmark cases, real-life incidents, and the role of institutions, NGOs, and society in protecting children.
