One of the first uses of the term "juvenile delinquency" was in a report entitled "Report of the Committee for Investigating the Causes of the Alarming Increase of Juvenile Delinquency in the Metropolis" that was printed in London in 1816. Later, in New York City in 1819, there was founded the "Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents" (Bernard 1992). After these two reports the term spread rapidly.

For example the credit industry uses delinquency to mean that someone hasn't paid his bill or isn't making his payment on time according to the terms of the agreement. In the criminal justice industry it is used primarily for juvenile delinquency, meaning that a child is not behaving the way he is expected to behave according to society. In the juvenile justice system children don't commit crimes: they commit "acts of delinquency," which is why juveniles are handled in a different way from adults, and are given a second chance when they become adults if they meet other criteria. Adults, on the other hand, are not "delinquent' They are either convicted felons or persons with a criminal history. Or they can be traffic offenders, "deadbeat dads/moms," or fit other classifications of criminal behaviors.
