There are two classifications of juvenile crime: status crimes and criminal conduct.

A status crime is any act deemed illegal based on the juvenile’s age such as driving with a learner’s permit but without an adult, possessing alcohol or tobacco products, or being out in public past curfew. These acts would not be a problem if the juvenile was over the age of 17.

Criminal conduct on the other hand, is any act that is generally illegal, such as drunk driving, vandalism, or possession of narcotics. If your child is facing charges for criminal conduct, they are in big trouble.
