What are some of the differences between the adult and juvenile court processes and systems?

Answered by wiki @



Answer:

Adult Acts:

Adults are prosecuted for “committing crimes”.

Juvenile Acts:

juveniles are prosecuted for committing “delinquent acts.” Many states classify juvenile offenders as those who are between the ages of ten and eighteen. In other words, anyone under eighteen is a juvenile, but you must be at least ten years of age to enter into the juvenile justice system. In other states, however, the age at which an offender is treated as an adult may be as young as sixteen or seventeen
