In the United States, juvenile delinquency laws apply to minors—typically children between the ages of 7 and 18—who commit criminal acts. Children under the age of 7 are generally not prosecuted, but their parents may still face consequences.

Juvenile cases are complex, as each state has its own rules regarding age-specific offenders and applicable punishments. Among all juvenile delinquency cases, approximately 70% result in probation rather than incarceration. Importantly, juvenile convictions are often easier to seal or expunge than adult convictions, allowing young offenders a better chance at a clean record in the future.
