status offense
A status offense is an action that is prohibited only to a certain class of people, and most often applied only to offenses committed by minors.
In the United States, the term status offense also refers to an offense such as a traffic violation where motive is not a consideration in determining guilt. In the United Kingdom and Europe, this type of status offense may be termed a regulatory offense.
==Usage==
Definitions of status offense vary. A neutral definition may be "() type of crime that is not based upon prohibited action or inaction but rests on the fact that the offender has a certain personal condition or is of a specified character."〔(Definition of status offense ) Enotes.com〕 The Federal Sentencing Guidelines states that a juvenile status offense is a crime which cannot be committed by an adult.〔U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2(c)(2).〕 For example, possession of a firearm ''by a minor'', by definition, cannot be done by an adult. In some states the term "status offense" does not apply to adults at all; according to Wyoming law, status offenses can be committed only by people under 18 years of age.〔(2002)(Working Draft. ) State of Wyoming.〕
Juvenile status offenders are distinguished from juvenile delinquent offenders in that status offenders have not committed an act that would be considered a crime if it were committed by an adult, whereas delinquent youths have committed such an act.〔(Juvenile Status Offenders. )〕
