In most jurisdictions, individuals can be charged in court for a crime starting at the age of 18. However, many places also have laws that allow for minors, typically those aged 16 or 17, to be charged as adults for serious offenses. The specific age can vary depending on local laws and the nature of the crime. Juvenile courts usually handle cases involving younger individuals, focusing more on rehabilitation than punishment.
