Yes, juveniles can be charged with violent crimes, although the legal process and consequences differ from those for adults. In many jurisdictions, minors may face charges in juvenile court, where the focus is often on rehabilitation rather than punishment. However, in certain cases, particularly for serious offenses, juveniles can be tried as adults, leading to harsher penalties. The specifics vary by location and the nature of the crime.
Yes. Juveniles can be convicted of a crime as long as they are over the age of 12(in WA other states may vary). Juveniles under the age of 12 are not considered to have the capacity to understand what they are doing. Although a juveniles criminal record is usually wiped clean when they turn 18.
Juveniles are involved in a significant but variable percentage of crimes, often accounting for around 10-15% of all arrests in the United States, depending on the specific type of crime and the year. This percentage can fluctuate based on factors such as changes in laws, law enforcement practices, and societal conditions. It's important to note that while juveniles may represent a smaller portion of overall crime, they are often disproportionately involved in certain categories, such as property crimes and status offenses.
Well, if juveniles are charged with adult crimes such as murder, burglary, or robbery, then I would say yes, they could be convicted of vehicular manslaughter.
