Juvenile Law

Juvenile law focuses on offenses committed by individuals under the age of 18. Juveniles accused of criminal activities face a unique set of legal challenges, as the justice system views them differently from adults. While minors are still held accountable for their actions, the juvenile justice system is designed to focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment. However, even a juvenile conviction can have significant long-term consequences, including a criminal record, school expulsions, and difficulty accessing future opportunities.

Juvenile crimes can range from minor offenses, like truancy or shoplifting, to more serious allegations, such as assault, theft, or drug offenses. A conviction could lead to detention in a juvenile facility, probation, or mandatory counseling. In some cases, more serious crimes can result in being tried as an adult, which can lead to adult penalties, including prison time.
