Juveniles (Youth)
Juveniles, or youth, refer to individuals typically between the ages of 10 and 17. This age group is characterized by significant physical, emotional, and social development. During this period, young people often explore their identities, form relationships, and develop skills that will shape their future.
In many societies, juveniles are subject to different legal standards compared to adults. The juvenile justice system focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment, aiming to guide youth like juvenile offenders towards positive behavior and reintegration into society. This approach recognizes the potential for change during these formative years.
