The word "delinquent" is used in juvenile court, a court that deals with people under the age of 18 (in the USA). When an adult breaks the law we say that person committed a crime. When a juvenile, or a person under the age of 18, breaks the law, we say they committed an act of delinquency or a delinquent act. Habitual delinquency refers to a juvenile who has a habit, or a repeated pattern, of breaking the law. Some states may have specific laws that says if a person is found to in violation of the law more than "x" amount of times then they are classified as being habitual delinquents.
