juvenile week 1

Similar to adult  deviance, juvenile delinquency can be defined and measured in a variety  of ways. The one unique characteristic with juvenile delinquency is that  the legal definition will vary from one state to another.

In your initial post,  discuss some of the differences in legal definitions concerning what  constitutes a juvenile. Next, identify and explain two different ways  that juvenile delinquency is measured. Conclude your response by  identifying the measurement of juvenile delinquency that you believe is  most effective and briefly explain why you believe this is an effective  measurement of juvenile delinquency.

 Initial posts must be a minimum of 350 words not counting the repeating  of the question or reference list, and incorporate material from at  least two (2) cited sources
