• Where can I find out why juveniles are not convicted but found delinquent instead?
  Juveniles are typically found delinquent rather than convicted to emphasize rehabilitation over punishment. The juvenile justice system focuses on guiding young offenders towards positive behavior and reintegration into society, rather than solely on incarceration. In cases where a juvenile commits a serious crime, they may be transferred to adult court, depending on the laws of the state and the specifics of the case. This transfer is often determined by the severity of the offense and the juvenile's age at the time of the crime. For example, in some states, a juvenile as young as 16 or 17 may be tried as an adult for particularly serious offenses. The decision to transfer a juvenile to adult court involves a judicial process that considers various factors, including the nature of the crime and the juvenile's mental state. For more information on juvenile justice laws and procedures, you can visit the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention at https://ojjdp.ojp.gov/.
