Definición

  • Until the late 1800s, juveniles who committed crimes in this country received the same treatment from the criminal justice system as did adults. The criminal justice system generally did not distinguish between adults and children, although minors were accorded the defense of infancy. [Source: Encyclopedia of Juvenile Justice; Law, Juvenile]
