juvenile delinquent
This is given in Websters for the abbreviation JD. It is probably being used humorously to mean "badly behaved".

Is is j.d. or g.d.
Don't know why the book would abbreviate juvenile delinquent, so I'm wondering if it is g.d., which some people say in place of "God damned", his god damned friend Charlie Hogan. Just a thought.
