Answer:

Adult Acts:

Adults are prosecuted for “committing crimes”.

Juvenile Acts:

juveniles are prosecuted for committing “delinquent acts.” Many states classify juvenile offenders as those who are between the ages of ten and eighteen. In other words, anyone under eighteen is a juvenile, but you must be at least ten years of age to enter into the juvenile justice system. In other states, however, the age at which an offender is treated as an adult may be as young as sixteen or seventeen

As an adult offender a difference is that you’re real name and picture gets published in newspapers etc but if you’re a juvenile you’re name is protected under the court of law to not be published under any circumstance unless you turn of age to be sentenced to adult prison and you commit further crimes then you can be published on the news. Juvenile strongly focuses on rehabilitating rather then punishment as well. As an adult you can also be sentenced up to any amount of time like 2 life sentences but as a kid you do not have that severe of punishment until you turn of age

The Miller Test is the primary legal test for determining whether expression constitutes obscenity. It is named after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Miller v. California (1973). The Miller test faced its greatest challenge with online obscenity cases. In Ashcroft v. ACLU (2002), a case challenging the constitutionality of the Child Online Protection Act, several justices questioned the constitutionality of applying the local community standards of Miller to speech on the Internet. In this photo, Associate Legal Director of the ACLU Ann Beeson gestures during a news conference outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday, March 2, 2004 in Washington. The ACLU claimed COPA violated the First Amendment guarantee of free speech. They challenged the law on behalf of online bookstores, artists and others, including operators of Web sites that offer explicit how-to sex advice or health information. The Supreme Court agreed with the lower court’s ruling that COPA did not pass the strict scrutiny test used to judge obscenity cases.
