can someone help me add on or correct what i have.
I have to pick from these four categories that a juvenile could fall under if an action is being made. I am putting the letters that i think fall under each action. There could be multiple for the categories and actions.
categories are:
a)Status offense
b)non-violent delinquency
c)violent offense
d)serious offense
and the actions are:
1)running away from home : A
2)shoplifting : A & C
3)credit card fraud: A,C, and D
4): C and D
5)drug dealing: D
6)breaking city curfew: A
7)homicide: C
I don't see how 2) and 3) can be status offenses; they are both illegal, regardless of age. Also -- shoplifting and credit card fraud can't be considered violent offenses. Please check these answers and consider which ones could also be categorized as non-violent delinquency. Please see the sites below for definitions.

Based on the provided categories and actions, here is a revised breakdown:
a) Status offense:
- Running away from home (1)
- Breaking city curfew (6)
b) Non-violent delinquency:
- Shoplifting (2)
c) Violent offense:
- (4)
- Homicide (7)
d) Serious offense:
- Credit card fraud (3)
- Drug dealing (5)
It appears that there were some incorrect categorizations in the original list. Shoplifting (2) and credit card fraud (3) should be categorized as non-violent delinquency, as they involve illegal actions but without inherently violent acts.
Additionally, it is important to note that the categorization of actions may differ depending on jurisdiction and legal definitions. It is recommended to consult local laws and legal resources for accurate categorizations.
