Juvenile Courts are specialized legal systems designed to handle cases involving minors, typically individuals under the age of 18. These courts focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, aiming to guide young offenders towards positive behavior and reintegration into society. The proceedings are generally less formal than adult courts, and confidentiality is often maintained to protect the identities of the juveniles involved. In Juvenile Courts, cases can include delinquency, status offenses, and dependency matters. Delinquency refers to criminal acts committed by minors, while status offenses involve behaviors that are only considered illegal due to the individual's age, such as truancy. The goal is to provide support and resources to help youth make better choices in the future.
