Juvenile Crime
Juvenile crime is crime committed by children under the age of 18. It is usually committed by teenagers and is a term that refers to many types of misconduct forbidden by law. A serious juvenile offender is often defined as one whose offense history includes arrests for five or more serious offenses or one who commits one or more offenses whose severity is equal to homicide Juvenile crime has increased during the past 30 years because children are being abandoned, abused, mistreated, and ignored. Serious juvenile crime, especially violent offenses, has increased rapidly in recent years. The earlier a child comes into the juvenile justice system the greater the likelihood that the child will develop and continue a delinquent and criminal career. While the overall crime rate has dropped in the country, violent offenses committed by teens has increased. Most child criminals are desperately poor; many are the products of multiple foster homes.
