Abstract
Introduction: Adolescent criminal behaviour is considered to be a serious global societal concern, with adverse physical and psychological effects for both the victims as well as the perpetrators. According to studies, incarcerated adolescents experience a greater risk of mental illnesses than the overall juvenile population. Approximately 14% to 20% of young individuals in the general population are diagnosed with a mental condition, with 9% to 13% experiencing severe emotional distress. The current study aims to find the patterns of previously existing literature associating Juvenile Crimes and Psychological Well-Being.Methods: After screening the units through a Prisma model, 1068 documentary units were included for further analysis. The documentary units were analysed using VOS Viewer Software and Hazing’s Publish and perish software.Results: From the results it was found that the United States secured the top ranking in terms of the number of papers and citations with over 862 papers and 26544 citations with medicine being the top contributing area. The current study also identified top authors, journals and research papers that were the major contributors in the area. Further bibliometric analysis showed the collaboration between different authors, journals, themes and organizations.Conclusion: The study gives an overall understanding about the various research as well as various aspects with which researchers have studied the current area. The research gap is evident from the number of publications as well as the areas in which the research has been looked into which thereby lays the platform for future studies
