Juvenile offenders are individuals who have been adjudicated delinquent. State laws can vary on the upper age of juvenile court jurisdiction. See also juvenile population. Children refers to children exposed to violence. The exposure can be a direct or indirect exposure to violence in the home, school, or community—including being victims of abuse or neglect. Indirect exposure to violence means witnessing or hearing about violence directed toward others. Low risk youth refers to a young person unlikely to reoffend in the near future. Typically supported by strong community or family bonds, positive peer groups, and a lack of previous offenses. Medium risk youth refers to a young person showing some risk factors for delinquency such as truancy, inconsistent home life, or association with delinquent peers. These factors moderately increase the probability of offenses in the near future. High risk youth refers to a young person more likely to reoffend in the near future due to an accumulation of risk factors. These may include early onset of aggressive behavior, severe family conflict, gang involvement, or shared characteristics with populations that have historically reoffended at higher rates.
