Question

"__________________" minors is the original early designation of youths who violate the law because of their minority status.

a. offending
b. reckless
c. deviant
d. wayward

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: d. wayward

The main purpose of the wayward minors' establishment is to create the necessary care, treatment, and reeducation for minors who violated the law.
Only late minors (age of 16 - 18) would be assigned to this place and the serving time would most likely less than 1 year.
