Answer: status offense

Explanation:

According to juvenile cases,a "status offense" refers to those conduct that when they are commited by a minor they become criminal act but when committed by an adult are not regarded as criminal acts.

These are actions that would violate the law if an under age person commit them.

Types of Status Offenses

The status offenses differ from state to state but they are most prevalent ones:

- Under age alcohol consumption

- Skipping school

- Breaking county curfew

- possession of drugs by a minor

- Underage smoking

- Rebellious and running away from home

Warning can be given to the child to prevent future deviant behavior depending on the intensity of the offense committed.
