To answer your question, what makes an adult is an arbitrary definition.
If an 18 year old guy has consensual sex with a 17 year old girl, he could be charged as an adult with raping a minor (a non-adult in legal terms).
However if that same minor girl commits a crime deemed serious by the court, she could be charged as an adult.
Using maturity in reference to being an adult can also be arbitrary and subjective...
