Answer:

The answer is: Juvenile delinquent.

Step-by-step explanation:

A juvenile delinquent is a person under the age of 18 who has committed a crime in states where a minor cannot be sentenced as an adult. In the criminal justice system, juvenile delinquents are persons who are commonly among the ages of 10 and 18 and have commited a crime, which in their case it is called a delinquent act.

The status of juvenile delinquents protects children from being processed as adults and guarantees them a trial and a sentence according to their physical and emotional age.
