If you are a juvenile, then the punishment for shoplifting - and other "minor" offenses - is based upon your race and your family's social standing in the community.
Thus if you are white or Asian and on the correct side of the "tracks", then you may not see a court room at all. Or at the most get a stern "talking to" by the DA or Judge to "scare you straight". Then it will be deleted from any record.
If you are African American or Hispanic - but still on the right side of the tracks - you will probably still get away with it, but it will be a sure bet that you'll get that talking to from the Judge or DA, but it will only be in unofficial records.
Now if you are any race at all, but from the wrong side of the tracks, then the very least you'll get is a stern talking to, and it will actually stay in your record, and your official one at that. And if you are a "twofer", that is the "wrong" race and income, then you may actually get a hearing and formal judgment, though for a first time probably no detention, just a suspended sentence, probation and/or community service.

The Consequences of a Shoplifting conviction can range from: * Shoplifting: First offense a minimum of 30 days to a maximum of 90 days. * Shoplifting subsequent offense: for a minimum of 3 months to a maximum of 5 months.If your under 17 years of age then you're a juvenile under Massachusetts Law. You can be charged with many crimes in Juvenile Court and zealous advocacy is essential to ensure that what took place becomes a problem of the past with minimal effect to your future. As a juvenile no matter what the crime you have a full life to live and you shouldn't begin it with a criminal conviction. You also have to be aware of collateral consequences. For example, if you're charged with a crime and you're a student in a public school you could be expelled. If you are expelled or suspended then I am ready to defend your rights before the school superintendent or principal.
