News on the arrest of these teenagers by the authorities frequently appears in the daily newspapers and reports.

During the process, the data of takzir offences had been analysed from case law decided by the Terengganu syariah courts from year 2008 to 2013. The study finds that most of the reported Islamic law (takzir) offences committed by the youths relate to sexual offences. The article concludes by forwarding suggestions to improve the law and administration process in dealing with these offences.
