A crime is still a crime. If it was a serious offense and has still never been solved, you could still be charged and prosecuted for it. If it was something minor, it may be forgiven or you may receive minimal punishment.
you can be from the age 10-17, after that you can be shipped to a adult prison.
According to a class I've taken it depends on the case and age of the "Juvenile" but more than likely the juvenile would be held until the age of 18, unless he is tried as an adult...an adult is looking at 1-15 years
As juvenile, the longest a child can serve is until the age of 18. The sentence can extend past the age of 18 as an adult.

the antonym youth is old,old age, or elderly.cheers xx
It depends on your state's law and the desires of the prosecutor. The state's law will define what age a person is a juvenile or an adult. If your state defines an adult at the age of 17 then you can be charged as an adult.
juvenile means a person who is not yet an adult, under the legal age, 16, 18, 21, depends where you are, so not all juvenile's are bad.
Commits a serious criminal act..
NOUN A juvenile is a minor, someone who is under the legal age. Although he was a juvenile, he was tried as an adult. ADJECTIVE (immature) Her friends would not tolerate her boyfriend's juvenile behavior. A juvenile male raccoon will often hunt with other juvenile males.
You can stand trial at any age. The only "special" age in the court system is 18; which is when you switch from the juvenile system to the adult.
No state has ever allowed juvenile death penalties. However, someone tried as an adult, regardless of age, can be sentenced to death.
The felonies will always remain on your record... however when you are 18 years of age your juvenile record will no longer be available to the public -UNLESS- the felony you committed as a juvenile caused you to be tried as an 'adult.' In that case, the felony offense WOULD show on your adult record.
