Juvenile Delinquency And Criminal Records
Juveniles accused of crimes are not entitled to jury trials. Instead, their cases are tried by a judge or commissioner, who has the power to make an adjudication of juvenile delinquency. The penalties can range from probation with counseling, to serving time in a juvenile detention center, to adult prison.
Most people think that juvenile records will go away when the child reaches age 18. However, this is not the case. Juvenile records will remain a part of your child’s criminal record unless they are expunged.
