      ab: Part of a special section marking the 100th anniversary of the U.S. juvenile justice system. The writer contends that many of the concepts of juvenile offenses and rehabilitation may change with the advent of the computer delinquent. He explains that computer delinquency refers to any delinquent act committed by a juvenile where a computer was the tool used in the offense, the target of a delinquent act, or contains proof of a delinquent act. He outlines several factors that combine to make computer delinquency a serious topic for corrections officials, including the superior technological knowledge of young people, the numerous opportunities that computers offer to delinquents, the losses or damages that can be inflicted by a delinquent, the indirect costs due to computer delinquency, the complications involved in adjudicating computer delinquents, and the likelihood that such delinquents will become adult computer offenders. He considers ways to tackle this problem.
