No. Although crime is crime, when a minor commits it it is generally referred to in a general sense as :juvenile crime."
It's a little complicated to explain but an "inchoate offense" is a type of crime that is committed when you are contemplating the commission of another crime.
It is conduct that is deemed criminal without actual harm being done, provided that the harm that could have occurred is prevented by law.
