If you commit a crime when you are a juvenile <18 yrs old you have commited a "Juvenile Crime"  Sometimes when you commit crimes like this when you reach the age of 18 they are wiped from your record so that you have a second chance at life.

Actually you have it wrong.  The justice system developed and practiced in the United States is the best that has developed in mankind in all of history so far.  It is far from perfect.  It is flawed.  It is human.  It is still the best we have come up with so far.  No matter what media may claim and promote, it is getting better all the time, not worse.  Because people do better and want better, we will become better for ourselves and our children.

I can think of three major categories, depending on the severity of the crime.\n\nCivil infraction - speeding ticket, etc.  Not really a crime.\n\nMisdemeanor - crime punishable by less than a year in jail.  Some states have 'high misdemeanors' that are punishable by less than 2 years in jail.\n\nFelony - crime punishable by more than a year in prison.  Capital crimes are those felonies that are punishable by death (or life in prison).  Murder is the big one here.\n\nI guess you could also categorize crimes by victims/results splitting them up into property crimes, white collar crimes, violent crimes, vice (so called victimless crimes), etc..\n\nNot all criminals are created equal.

Juvenile court is not the same as adult court, it is not always at finding them guilty as making sure that they are safe and properly supervised.\n\nAlso who is droping the charges,  in most courts, there is not a prosecutor like in adult court, but there is a juvenile court officers that present the cases and oversee thier help.\n\nIf the victim merely wants "charges" droped that does not mean they are droped either.  If the criminal charges were droped for varoius reasons ( also rules of evidence are not the same as adult court rules)\n\nBut if the court beleives something in the juveniles home or supervision makes them at risk, they can still take them before the judge

Any program will lower juvenile delinquency... as long as it has requirements... kids will strive to become better in sports leaving less time for them to get caught up. The National Youth Sports Program was pretty nice... it equips kids with the knowledge to survive and provides them with countless opportunities. It helped steer/motivate me... now I'm off to college....

Please expand on your question.  In most cases, juveniles get MORE freedom than adults for the same crimes/accusations.

Biggest difference:  no right to jury trial.  \nAlso focus is on "rehabilitation" vs. "punishment."  \nIn California, no matter the crime, the longest a juvenile can be incarcerated is until age 25.  \nJuvenile court proceedings are confidential and not open to the public.

Crime I think is due to lack of respect for others and lack of personal responsibility.\n\nThe crimes are getting more bizarre because society is sadly becoming almost immune to most crime, and so the criminals who most often seek attention from media and communities, have to up the crimes to attain the same public response that they seek.

Uh, you're kidding, or being facetious right?\n\nLaw enforcement personnel are sworn to uphold the law.  To degrade oneself by stooping to levels that perpertrators do makes any officer partaking in "street justice" a criminal, and therefore not truly an officer of the law, and not worthy to carry a badge.  \n\nThe court system is not perfect, but it's what we got.  When citizens get tired enough of youthful offenders stealing their hard earned belongings or assaulting them and begin to petition the law makers, then the court system may finally begin to work the way we all hope.  \n\nAny adult, police officer or otherwise, who takes out physical justice on an intellectually and emotionally immature person...read juvenile (sorry folks, that's what they are) are cowards.  Part of L.E. is rehab.  Cops aren't just about putting people in jail, they also assist in programs to help kids stay out of trouble.

Exactly, we have become a nation of people who think everything is someone else's fault, especially if it gets us some money. Obviously not everyone falls into this category but far too many do. I think it started with the court system blaming "a bad childhood" for some 18 year old killing some poor dude minding his own business. People know what's right and wrong and they need to have guts enough to admit when they screw up. Okay off the soap box.

There's loads of things - simply attemting to commit a crime is a crime in itself.\n\nI guess the most obvuious answer to your question would be attempted murder.

it all depends.  It has a lot to do with how many other crimes a minor has been convicted of and stuff like that it also depends on the age because a person my be still considered a minor by the state they might not be by the crimes they commit on how harsh they are.  It is really on a case by case basis

I am not sure what your are speaking of. Restate your question. Juveniles (in most states) are adjudicated in a separate court away from adults. Most are held there until a Juvenile reaches their 16th birthday, unto which any new charges will be tried in regular court.

A judicial system is mandatory for a society to function well.\n\nIn the past, in times where there wasnt a justice system, people solved their problems with the Eye for an Eye method.This created chaos.\n\nJustice came as a way to establish harmony and peace in peoples lives.\n\nImagine a world without a judicial system, there will be no rules, People could just take your stuff and you wouldnt be able to complain, we would have no rights.\nThere will be fear and chaos.

Are you trying to ask, Violent youths who have been charged as an Adult? Every State has different Laws that govern juvenile offenses. First see what your State Laws are and compare them to other States. Look for previous cases involving juveniles and the death penalty.

Crime and violence only effects children if they personally see it take place within their homes and schools. eg. Brother steals cars or parents fight.
