Discuss (c) age-crime curve

The definition: a juvenile is a person below the age of majority in criminal matters — in the CRC's Article 1 and Nepal's child-law (the Children's Act 2075; the Criminal Code 2074's juvenile faces), a child is every human being below eighteen years unless majority is attained earlier under the law applicable; the liability-ladder begins inside that boundary (Unit 4's national framework). The definition's meaning: the juvenile is not a small adult but a developing person — the legal category itself encodes the doctrine of diminished culpability and greater malleability (Unit 1's rationale). The developmental base (the exam's background): the childhood stages (infancy → early → middle → adolescence), the psychology's anchors (Piaget's cognitive stages; Kohlberg's moral ladder; the adolescent-brain science — the reward system running ahead of the control system) — the science beneath the age-ladder.
