Introduction

Juvenile offender is a legal term has been developed so that the young law-breakers to avoid shame offenders classified in the legal records. This has been prepared in juvenile delinquency laws to provide treatment for juvenile offenders and not punishment.

By tapping the disciplinary files of such institutions as well as the reports of twentieth-century probation officers, social historians may give voice to the delinquents themselves.

Government reports and criminologists point out that most of us will be the victim of a crime at least once in our lives. That is a rather scary statistic. (Bartollas, 2008)

What is not said is that most crimes are minor things such as vandalism and petty theft. They are inconveniences, but little else. Even “violent” crimes are mainly petty events-someone hits someone else, a police officer is pushed.
