federal-juvenile-delinquency jurisdiction

A federal court’s power to hear a case in which a person under the age of 18 violates federal law.

? In such a case, the federal court derives its jurisdictional power from 18 USCA ¡ì¡ì 5031 et seq. The Act severely limits the scope of federal-juvenile-delinquency jurisdiction because Congress recognizes that juvenile delinquency is essentially a state issue. The acts that typically invoke federal jurisdiction are (1) acts committed on federal lands (military bases, national parks, Indian reservations), and (2) acts that violate federal drug laws or other federal criminal statutes.
