Desistence from crime

Added: While the term 'desistance' can be applied, the phenomenon is NOT unique only to juveniles who cease committing criminal acts. the phrase can be applied to anyone at any age.

You may be looking for the fact that a juvenile who has turned 18 (or 'age of majority,' whichever applies) has 'aged-out' of the juvenile justice system and their offenses cease to be recorded as a juvenile statistic and they become, instead, subject to the application of adult penalties.
