A crime is a crime no matter WHAT the age of the person committing it. The only difference between juvenile offenders and adult offenders, is in how they are handled by the court.
Unless the offense is serious to have the minor is bound over for trial in adult court, they would be trid in juvenile court and sentenced under juvenile guidelines.
If the president lies under oath or commits a crime like a felony.
In some cases, when an individual commits a crime, he or she is doing so under duress. This means that they are forced to do so because something may happen to them if they don't.
I believe that all are equal under the law.
Basically, any person who commits, helps someone else commit, or orders anyone to commit, a Crime Against Humanity to be carried out can be held accountable under international law.
A person is "under arrest" when a police officer charges them with a crime and chooses to take them to the police station to be processed for it. For example, if someone commits a crime, they are technically under arrest when a police officer witnesses the crime or has a warrant for the arrest and tells the criminal "You are under arrest." Typical procedure after this is to put handcuffs on the criminal and read them their Miranda rights (you have the right to remain silent etc). Handcuffs alone do not mean arrest, but i'm pretty sure its illegal for a police officer to handcuff someone without grounds to arrest them. As a side note, the person doing the arrest does not have to be a sworn in police officer. In Citizen's arrest cases, anyone with arresting powers like a bounty hunter can also place someone under arrest.
Some alternatives to jail for a 16-year-old who commits a crime include community service, probation, counseling or therapy, restorative justice programs, or a juvenile diversion program.

The Nuremberg trials demonstrated that individuals can be held accountable for committing atrocities against humanity, regardless of their rank or position.

They can be charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and be tried in a Court Martial or (depending on the crime and the 'status of forces' agreement in place between the US and that country) they can be turned over the civilian authorites of the country in which the offense occurred to be tried under that country's laws.
You would be guilty of a crime known as vehicular manslaughter, as well as the crime of impaired driving. These are serious crimes.
Criminal.Added: The above is a factual answer however, the "kinder and gentler" term for it is Juvenile Offender or Juvenile Delinquent.
A young offender is a person under the age of 21 but no younger than 15, they go to a young offenders institute because they're too young to go to prison.
Someone saying that means that rights can be restricted or taken away if they are abused. For instance, the right to bear arms, guaranteed in the constitution, is taken away for convicted felons. The right to freedom (at least in body) is restricted when someone commits a crime and is incarcerated. Rights under the law aren't absolute when people start violating other people's rights.
