The most common juvenile crimes committed are theft crimes, truancy, drug crimes, aggravated assault and murder. However, juveniles are also often associated with a wide range of other non-violent and violent crimes  offenses that may include: sex crimes, arson, robbery, traffic offenses, DUI, underage drinking, auto theft, burglary, shop-lifting, prostitution/lewd acts, vandalism and weapons possession.
