What Are The Most Common Punishments For Juvenile Criminal Offenders?

For juveniles, the justice system typically aims to rehabilitate rather than punish. However, the severity of the offense and the minor’s history can influence whether they are tried as adults or juveniles. Understanding the potential consequences is crucial. Common punishments for juvenile offenders include:

  • Probation: Allows the juvenile to remain at home under court supervision, subject to specific conditions
  • Placement: Involves confinement in a juvenile detention facility
  • Fines: Financial penalties imposed on the minor or their guardians
  • Community service: Requires the juvenile to perform a certain number of service hours
  • Deferred adjudication: Offers the opportunity to dismiss charges after fulfilling specific conditions

Each case is unique, and the outcomes can vary significantly. Our knowledgeable attorneys can help you and your child reduce or drop these charges to find a suitable solution for them and their situation.

Fighting juvenile charges can require a strategic approach tailored to your child and their circumstances. We can employ a range of defense strategies designed to protect underage offenders, including:
