About juvenile court

Juvenile court, also known as young offender's court or children's court, is a tribunal having special authority to pass judgements for crimes committed by children who have not attained the age of majority. In most modern legal systems, children who commit a crime are treated differently from legal adults who have committed the same offense. Juveniles have a lack of capacity for understanding their criminal acts, meaning they also have diminished criminal responsibility compared to their adult counterparts. In some states like California and Georgia, juvenile courts also have jurisdiction over dependency proceedings which involve determining whether a child has been abused or neglected by their parent or legal guardian and needs state intervention to protect them from further harm.
