Definition of juvenile courts in English English dictionary
juvenile court: a court having jurisdiction over dependent and delinquent children
juvenile court: A juvenile court is a court which deals with crimes committed by young people who are not yet old enough to be considered as adults. A court with jurisdiction over all cases involving children under a specified age, usually 18 years. Special court handling problems of delinquent, neglected, or abused children. Two types of cases are processed by a juvenile court: civil matters, often concerning care of an abandoned or impoverished child, and criminal matters, arising from antisocial behaviour by the child. Most statutes provide that all persons under a given age (often 18 years) must first be processed by the juvenile court, which can then, at its discretion, assign the case to an ordinary court. Before the creation of the first juvenile court, in Chicago in 1899, and the subsequent creation of other such courts in the United States and other countries (e.g., Canada in 1908; England in 1908; France in 1912; Russia in 1918; Poland in 1919; Japan in 1922; and Germany in 1923), juveniles were tried in the same courts as adults
juvenile court: court of law where minors are tried
