Question

States classify status offenders using different terms. Which term listed is false?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The false term is "Delinquent." Delinquent refers to a minor who has committed a criminal offense or violated the law, while the other three terms (Unruly child, Incorrigible child, Minor in need of supervision) refer to minors who have committed status offenses, which are behaviors that are only considered offenses because the offender is a minor.
