youth probation

Minor's supervised release

Youth probation is a legal status allowing a minor convicted of an offense to remain in the community under court supervision rather than being incarcerated.

Conditions typically include regular check-ins with a probation officer, curfews, school attendance requirements, and avoidance of further trouble.

Violating terms can result in detention: He was on youth probation for shoplifting.
