Juvenile offenders are individuals under 18 who commit crimes, and modern society manages them through rehabilitation-focused methods such as therapy and vocational training. Historically, treatment has evolved from punitive practices like orphan trains to contemporary approaches that prioritize understanding and addressing root causes. This shift reflects a more compassionate view of youth and emphasizes support and reintegration into the community.
