Juvenile Crimes Defense Attorney
Technically speaking, there is no such thing as a “juvenile crime.” The crimes young people commit are the same crimes that people over age 18 commit, with a couple of exceptions.
Underage drinking and curfew violations are examples of crimes that by definition have minors as defendants. Other crimes (auto theft, drug possession, drug trafficking, ID theft, child molestation or child pornography, for example) will typically be handled in juvenile court when the defendant is underage, but otherwise, are similar or identical to violations committed by adults. Hence, the term juvenile delinquency is used to identify cases where children are defendants accused of breaking the law.
