WEBIn juvenile cases, a "status offense" involves conduct that would not be a crime if it were committed by an adult. In other words, the actions are considered to be a violation of the law only because of the youth's status as a minor. Common examples of status offenses include underage drinking, skipping school, and violating a local curfew law.
