Children who commit noncriminal acts such as running away from home, failing to attend school, or violating a curfew receive status offenders designation from the juvenile justice system.
The component of the criminal justice system known as juvenile justice deals with offenses committed by adolescents, typically between the ages of 10 and 18 years. The maximum age for eligibility is set by each state's juvenile statute, which varies. Any offense that may be committed by an adult but is instead committed by a juvenile is referred to as a juvenile crime. Curfew violations, running away, truancy, and consuming alcohol while underage are examples of "status offenses" that can only be committed by a juvenile. Youth offenders are not tried as adults in the juvenile justice system; instead, their cases are heard in a special juvenile court.
