Juvenile Crime (sometimes called juvenile delinquency), is a facet of Criminal Law that refers to both violent and non-violent crimes committed by minors. A minor, in most of the U.S., is an individual under the age of eighteen, though it does vary in several states. Due to the young age of juvenile offenders, hiring a Juvenile Crime lawyer is advisable, so that the rights of the minor are defended to the utmost.

Because the use of age as the sole determining factor has contested, judges possess the authority to waive a young offender into adult court, if it is warranted by the circumstances. This is another reason that a Juvenile Crime attorney is beneficial to the rights of the minor, so as to mitigate or eliminate the harsher consequences of being accused of a crime. The Juvenile Crime system is a relatively new approach to youth crimes. Juvenile Crime Court emphasizes treatment and rehabilitation rather than punishment of young offenders.
