Explain the difference between juveniles who are delinquent and juveniles who are status offenders
What will be an ideal response?
Status offenses involve violations that are specific to juveniles, but juveniles that
engage in crimes to which adults could be charged are called delinquents. Delinquents, in addition to being considered delinquent if they commit a crime, are also considered delinquent if they are disobedient, indecent, or immoral, and or are in need of treatment, rehabilitation, or supervision. Status offenses involve acts for which an adult would not be charged. For example, running away, truancy, curfew violations, and underage liquor law violations are all status offenses.
