    Status offense

    Explanation:

    A status offense is a non criminal action that is forbidden only to a certain category of people, especially a minor. Here Emily is a minor and she is detained but the motive is not meant to determine whether she is guilty or not, but because she is a minor. The act is illegal for persons under a certain legal age, depending on the country of residence.
