In German language (the Anglo-Saxon connection?) there is a similar distinction between "Jugendliche" and "Minderjährige", but maybe less legalistic than in the US.
According to Google Search: "While both terms generally refer to someone under the age of 18, minor and juvenile have distinct legal and contextual uses.
A minor is a civil law term for someone lacking full legal rights (like voting or signing contracts), while a
juvenile is most often used in criminal law and court systems."
