Summary
The juvenile justice system deals with young people under 18 who commit crimes. It focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment. Students learn about the differences between juvenile and adult courts and the processes that move juveniles into the adult system.
Juvenile Justice Overview
Juvenile justice applies to people under 18. It is mainly run by state law. The system aims to rehabilitate young offenders rather than punish them. The state has the power to protect and care for children within its jurisdiction.
Juvenile and Adult Courts Compared
Juvenile courts differ from adult courts in several ways. Juveniles do not get jury trials or bail. Punishments for smaller offenses can be stricter than for adults. Serious offenses may lead to early release for juveniles.
Juvenile Waivers
A juvenile waiver transfers a youth into the adult court system. This happens for serious offenses or a history of crimes. The Breed vs. Jones case set rules to protect juveniles from double jeopardy.
Miranda Warning
The Miranda Warning protects the rights of individuals during police interrogation. It clarifies choices and supports police power when read correctly. It is a legal requirement across the United States.
