Are Children Charged with a Crime Treated the Same as Adults?
_While there is a special court system to handle juvenile crime, there
is not a special juvenile criminal code. Adult criminal codes
are applied in the juvenile system, but the children are not generally
accused of crimes. Instead, they are accused of committing delinquent
acts. Children cannot be incarcerated in adult jails
except for very limited periods of time.
