juvenile sentencing
Minors facing consequences
Juvenile sentencing refers to the penalties imposed on minors who have been adjudicated delinquent in juvenile court.
Unlike adult sentencing, juvenile sentencing typically emphasizes rehabilitation over punishment, with options ranging from probation and community service to placement in juvenile detention facilities.
The system operates on the premise that young offenders can be reformed: The judge considered several juvenile sentencing options before ordering counseling and supervision.
In serious cases, juveniles may be transferred to adult court, where they face adult sentencing.
