Well. In Australia people who get put in Juvi are normally 13 and over. But it really depends on the crime

It varys from State to State . Depending on the crime you can skip Juvi, and go straight to Adult Prison !
Usually 10 .

it always depends on the severity of the crime. If you commit murder while 9 y.o. you will go to juvi. If it's shoplifting , they will give you community service...if that.

Up to seventeen in Texas. Unless the court declares you an adult. For a serious crime , like murder. Doesn't happen often, but does happen.
Best thing to do is avoid the situation that got you there in the first place.

Varies from state to state but, it really depends on what the Judge, Police, & State Attorney want to do.
Stay out of trouble hang out with the "right" crowd and you will have no worries
