Can juveniles be taken into custody for offenses that adults cannot be taken in for?
A crime is a crime and persons committing such are held accountable regardless of their age. Of course there are some obscure acts which would apply to juveniles rather then an adult, such as delinquency of a minor, habitual truancy, run aways, etc.
Juveniles are in general adjudicated differently than adults. If a juvenile commits a felony crime the judge decides whether or not he or she should be tried under adult statutes.
