Juvenile Crimes
A juvenile crime is any criminal offense that is committed by a minor (person below the legal age of 18).  Contrary to popular belief juvenile crimes, or acts of delinquency, are taken very seriously by law enforcement.  In recent years, the state of California has adopted stricter laws and legal consequences for minors who break the law.  In some cases, juveniles may even be charged as an adult if they committed a serious criminal offense, or are close to the legal age limit. 

When prosecuting and sentencing juveniles, the legal system focuses upon rehabilitating the minor, versus punishing him/her for the crimes he/she committed.  It is believed that juveniles are younger and are therefore capable of changing their behaviors, whereas adults are more set in their ways and unable to change their way of thinking without extensive rehabilitation.  Still, if a juvenile is convicted of a crime, he/she faces harsh legal consequences such as fines, probation, community service, and treatment programs.  Some juveniles may even be removed from their homes and placed in juvenile detention centers for further treatment.
