juvenile records
Minor's legal history
Juvenile records are official documents from legal proceedings involving minors—arrests, court cases, and dispositions from the juvenile justice system.
Unlike adult criminal records, juvenile records are typically sealed or expunged when the person reaches adulthood, reflecting the belief that youthful offenses shouldn't follow someone permanently: His juvenile record was sealed when he turned eighteen.
Access is usually restricted to protect the minor's privacy and future opportunities.
