No! A status offense is ONLY something that would not be a crime if the juvenile were an adult: running away, breaking curfew, skipping school. There may be others, but those are examples.Anything that is a crime if you are an adult is not a status offense for a juvenile.
A juvenile delinquent is a youth who has committed a crime. A status offender is a youth who has been charged with an offense, but is not classified as a criminal and is not charged with a criminal offense.
Juvenile crimes are expunged at l8 or 2l so do not count- I am speaking of (normal) Juvenile crime such as truancy, vandalism, status offenses like smoking or drinking, and usually juvenile crimes. adult-type crimes like assault and battery or homicide- well that;s a whole nother Paddy Wagon.
"Deal with" could have a variety of meanings; however, status offenses are still offenses, nonetheless. Police officers are expected to respond to every complaint that comes in, including complaints that involve status offenses. Depending on the circumstances, and the officer, the status offender may be arrested, cited, or only have the evidence confiscated (assuming it be a crime with evidence).
whatever that they want Added: Juveniles are capable of committing any crime that an adult can. There are no "special" juvenile offenses.
A status offender refers to a minor who has committed an offense that would not be considered a crime if committed by an adult. These offenses are typically related to behaviors that are prohibited for minors, such as truancy, curfew violations, running away from home, or underage drinking. Status offenders are subject to the juvenile justice system rather than the criminal justice system.
(in the US) there is no such offense chargeable as a "political" crime. There are only civil offenses and criminal offenses.
Certain categories of crime are predominately in the JUVENILE CRIME angle statistically. Vandalism, hit-and-abandon auto theft, Tampering with Fire Hydants ( a form of vandalism) while at the fire house- yes in some places ARSON is statistically most common among those under 2l or- Juveniles. Stop and think, Arson is a major crime and can endanger many fire fighters, and risk human life, to put it mildly. There are thus, a number of crimes mainly committed by juveniles or teenagers. Vandalism is nearly always a Youth Crime. I have not discussed purpose-built status offenses only criminal among kids- such as Hooky, going into Adult films underage, juvenile use and possession of Alcohol and Tobacco, these are called by the legal community- (Status offenses) and would not be Crimes if done by an adult. but Arson is increasingly and in some states- the majority of them ( a difficult crime to solve, the fires destroy the evidence!) are set off by juveniles., often in a sordid revenge or reprisal raid idea- yecch.

Any crime committed by a juvenile or "teen"
In Illinois, a 17-year-old can be charged as an adult for most offenses, particularly those classified as felonies. However, they may still be eligible for juvenile court processing for certain less serious offenses or if the court decides to transfer the case. The distinction largely depends on the nature of the crime and the individual’s circumstances. It's important to consult legal counsel for specific cases.
In Ohio, a juvenile can be held in a detention facility starting at the age of 10. However, the juvenile court system typically handles cases involving individuals under 18. For serious offenses, juveniles aged 16 and older may be tried as adults and face incarceration in an adult jail, depending on the nature of the crime.
