What is the WIC section for a minor who is considered incorrigible and violates curfew?

The section of the Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) that pertains to a minor who is considered incorrigible and violates curfew is 601a. This code specifically addresses the issues of minors who engage in behaviors that are considered status offenses, which are acts that are only considered offenses due to the age of the individual.

In the context of minors, “incorrigible” behavior typically refers to repeated violations of laws or rules that would not be considered criminal if committed by an adult, such as habitual truancy or violation of curfew. The purpose of this section is to provide a framework for intervention and support rather than punishment, focusing on rehabilitation.

The other sections mentioned deal with different circumstances. For instance, WIC 602 applies to minors who commit criminal offenses, while 625a pertains to the authority of law enforcement to take a minor into temporary custody under specific conditions, and WIC 601b addresses minors who may be habitually absent from school. Understanding the distinction among these sections is crucial in identifying the correct legal framework relevant to the behaviors defined within the context of juvenile law.
