juvenile record
Minor's legal history
A juvenile record is the official documentation of crimes committed by a person while under the age of legal adulthood.
Unlike adult criminal records, juvenile records are typically sealed or expunged when the person reaches adulthood, reflecting the legal system's emphasis on rehabilitation over punishment for young offenders.
His juvenile record was sealed when he turned eighteen.
Whether a juvenile record can be accessed later—by employers, courts, or the public—varies by jurisdiction and the severity of the offenses.
