juvenile records

Juvenile records are documents that detail legal actions involving minors, typically those under 18, who have committed violations or crimes. These records are usually kept separate from adult criminal records and are often sealed or restricted to protect the youth’s privacy. The purpose is to allow juveniles to rehabilitate without long-term stigma while still holding them accountable. In many cases, these records can be accessed by certain authorities or under specific circumstances, but generally, they are less accessible to the public compared to adult records.
