However, some acts are considered delinquent simply because of the offender's status as a minor. These "status" offenses include underage consumption of alcohol, driving without a license, truancy from school and running away from home. Status offenses are typically dealt with by social services agencies and do not require intervention from the juvenile court. More serious offenses may be charged as felonies or misdemeanors. While minors may be involved in all types of crime, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) documents three major categories of juvenile crime: violent crimes, crimes against property and drug-related crimes. Violent crimes are crimes that result in bodily injury, such as assault, rape and homicide. Property crimes are committed when a juvenile uses force, or the threat of force, to obtain the property of another. Drug-related crimes involve the possession or sale of illegal narcotics. Other common juvenile crimes not indexed by the OJJDP include loitering, vagrancy, vandalism and weapons possession. While many criminal charges can be favorably resolved through negotiation and plea bargaining other cases, other cases may need to go to trial. We fight hard to obtain the best possible outcome for our clients, whether that is a dismissal of the charges, a guilty plea to a reduced charge, alternative sentencing or an acquittal.
