juvenile delinquent

Read a random definition: witnesseth

A quick definition of juvenile delinquent:

A juvenile delinquent is a young person who has broken the law and is punished differently than adults who break the law. They are usually under 18 years old and can face consequences like community service or going to a juvenile detention center.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A juvenile delinquent is a young person who has been found guilty of committing a crime. They are usually punished by laws that are different from those applied to adult offenders. In most cases, a juvenile delinquent is someone who is under the age of 18.

Examples:

  • A 16-year-old who is caught stealing from a store
  • A 14-year-old who is arrested for vandalism
  • A 17-year-old who is charged with assault

These examples illustrate the definition of a juvenile delinquent because they all involve young people who have committed crimes. Because they are minors, they will be punished differently than adults who commit the same crimes. The goal of the juvenile justice system is to help these young people learn from their mistakes and become productive members of society.
