A delinquent juvenile is a young person who has committed a crime or violated a law. They may be subject to the juvenile justice system rather than the adult criminal justice system.

When a juvenile commits a crime, they may be subject to the juvenile justice system, which aims to rehabilitate rather than punish. The consequences can vary and may include community service, counseling, probation, or placement in a juvenile detention center. The goal is to address the behavior and prevent further criminal activity.

The primary purpose of the original juvenile justice system was to rehabilitate and provide guidance to young offenders, rather than punish them as adults. It aimed to steer juveniles away from a life of crime by addressing the underlying causes of their behavior.
