JUVENILE
Juvenile delinquency refers to the participation by minors, usually individuals below the age of 18, in illegal activities or behaviors that would be considered criminal if committed by adults. These offenses can range from petty crimes to more serious offenses. The juvenile justice system is designed to address and rehabilitate young offenders rather than subject them to the same legal processes and penalties as adults.
Juvenile delinquency include:
1. Age Group: Juvenile delinquents are typically individuals who have not reached the age of majority, which is 18 in many legal systems.
2. Legal Proceedings: The juvenile justice system is separate from the adult criminal justice system and aims to focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment. It often involves specialized courts and procedures for handling cases involving minors.
3. Rehabilitation: The primary goal of addressing juvenile delinquency is to rehabilitate young offenders. The focus is on providing interventions, counseling, and support to help them reintegrate into society.
4. Education and Prevention: Efforts are made to address the underlying issues that contribute to delinquent behavior. This includes educational programs, community involvement, and preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
5. Alternative Measures: Instead of traditional criminal penalties, juvenile justice systems may employ alternative measures such as probation, community service, counseling, or placement in juvenile facilities.
Understanding and addressing juvenile delinquency involve a combination of legal, social, and educational strategies to help young individuals overcome challenges and avoid a path of criminal behavior in the future.
