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 and the future of the juvenile is protected.

Because the use of age as the sole determining factor has contested, judges possess the authority to waive a juvenile offender into adult court, if it is warranted by the circumstances. A juvenile criminal defense attorney can act as an advocate for the juvenile and knows the juvenile court system, juvenile law, and rehabilitation options available. The juvenile criminal justice system is based on the idea that youth are fundamentally different than adults, both in terms of level of responsibility and potential for rehabilitation. Therefore, Juvenile Court emphasizes treatment and rehabilitation rather than punishment of young offenders involved in juvenile cases.
