juveniles (Youth)
Juveniles, or youth, refer to individuals typically between the ages of 10 and 17 years. This stage of life is characterized by significant physical, emotional, and social development. During this time, young people often explore their identities, form relationships, and develop skills that will shape their future.
In many societies, juveniles are subject to specific laws and regulations that recognize their developmental needs. The juvenile justice system, for example, is designed to address offenses committed by minors, focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment. This approach aims to guide youth, such as those involved in delinquency, toward positive outcomes.
