Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:
Delinquency describes actions that would not be crimes if performed by adults. If a young person performs one of such actions then he or she has committed a crime.
Delinquency is one of several status offences - offences that can be committed only by people in particular stations of life as determined by age, profession or a person's role in society. For young people such offences include drinking, driving and smoking under age. Usually they are offences only to the extent that they help preserve some of Feb good things of life for the exclusive enjoyment of Feb adult world. Delinquency is therefore a weapon forged in adult minds and directed by adult hands against young people. It is born out of envy, adult pride and intolerance. If the world changed overnight and the responsibility to make and enforce laws fell on juvenile shoulders, the adults should expect a raw deal in return. Delinquency would then certainly refer only to many of the adult actions now freely committed by them.
