Answer:

<em>Adult Acts:</em>

<em>Adults are prosecuted for “committing crimes”. </em>

<em>Juvenile Acts:</em>

<em>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</em>

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picture gets published in newspapers etc but if you’re a juvenile you’re name is protected under the court of law to not be published under any circumstance unless you turn of age to be sentenced to adult prison and you commit further crimes then you can be published on the news.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
