Abstract: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has put a major impact on the children in conflict with law. This paper aims to capture the major key issues and the necessary steps taken by the state government to mitigate the negative consequences for children in conflict with law. It is found from various studies that during the beginning period of COVID-19, reduction in the rate of crime is observed, and the reason for this is due to drastic change in the routine activities of the individuals and with the closure of schools, colleges and other services. The pandemic effect of staying at home and social distancing led to decline in crime rate by the juveniles. The most concerning part was the staffing crisis seen at observation and special homes in the state of Odisha. The social factors such as parental supervision, love, care and affection play vital role against delinquent behaviour of children.
