Juvenile Penalties

Juvenile penalties can range from a simple verbal warning to detention. First-time offenders of petty offenses may receive a verbal or written warning from a law enforcement officer. Other offenses may merit fines. A minor may also be ordered to serve community service.

Other offenses such as DUIs both alcohol and drugs may result in jail time or detention in a juvenile facility. Some penalties, such as those for incorrigible juveniles, include counseling not only of the delinquent but also his parents or guardians.
