Laws vary from state to state.  The best way to find out is to go to the Appellate Law Library.  This library is open to the public.  Most states have them.  You can also research it online as well. You might also want to check out "penal laws", or check "laws and rights of juveniles", or legal rights and statue of limitations of juveniles.  I hope this helps.

Well, put quite simply, Juveniles should not be tried as adults in court.  But the system is grossly misjudging both adults and children in their capacities to make decisions.\n\nPhysiologically speaking, humans do not fully develop their critical thinking skills until they are adults!  According to developmental psychologists, males' brains do not finish in their development of critical thinking until the age of approximately 21-23.  Women's brains mature a bit earlier, between the ages of 18-21.  \n\nSo this would explain a lot!  Why don't teenagers and young adults seem to make good choices?  Why do many young adults take risks without considering the consequences of their actions?  Because they are physiologically unable!  They have not yet finished developing the mental processes which allow them to do so.  Until the medical community brings forth research to the contrary you will be hard pressed to find juveniles consistently tried as adults...simply for the reason that they are *not* adults! \n\nHave a great day!

America's juvenile justice system is responsible for keeping citizens safe and rehabilitating delinquent youth. Meeting these two responsibilities has been the goal of the system since it was first implemented. The dilemma that has faced policymakers and citizens has been deciding which of the two aims should receive the most emphasis, and thus, funding. Should the state build more juvenile penitentiaries and immediately protect its citizens, or should it teach current prisoners life skills that will help them to live in such a way that they will be less likely to recapitulate (reoffend)? Or, in a separate, preventative effort, should the state use its resources to fund parenting, recreational, and mentoring programs that build up youth and enable them to make good decisions early on? In the end, the state must balance effectiveness with urgency. Preventative and rehabilitative measures have been proven time and time again to significantly lower the likelihood of a youth offending (or reoffending). However, the results of prevention and rehabilitation programs do not become apparent until years after they are begun, and few are willing to risk the immediate threat that could befall the community should funding of penitentiaries experience a shortfall while prevention and rehabilitation programs are being established. Citizens do not want to be the guinea pigs through which psychologists measure the effectiveness of their rehabilitative efforts; they want offenders locked up. But most also know a kid, or were a kid, that prevention or rehabilitation measures helped somewhere along the way.The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act called for a "deinstitutionalization" of juvenile delinquents. It required that states holding youth within adult prisons for status offenses remove them within a span of two years (this timeframe was adjusted over time). The act also provided program grants to states, based on their youth populations, and created the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).Through research into which programs have been effective - both at home and abroad - policy makers hope to develop strategies that will drop crime rates in future years. By taking the initiative to build anti-crime programs structured to fit local needs, community leaders have generated a plethora of information on which programs work, where they work, and what it takes to carry them out. Current U.S. policy aims to balance public safety with the effective rehabilitation of youth, and courts seek to individualize recommendations to fit the situations of young offenders.

I had the unique experience of having gone through both. I was in the Texas National Guard when I was in college, and had to go through their basic training camp. I then decided after I left Baylor to go on active duty and wanted to follow family tradition and become a Marine, so I joined the Corps and then had to go through the 13 week MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot). I was 20 when I did this. No question, the MCRD was much more demanding in every way. The physical conditioning was longer and harder, the mental demands as far as intensity were tougher. Even qualifying with a rifle was harder (500 meters vs. 300 with the Army) The drill instructors are hard, demanding, and in your face every second. During the term of your training, you will get very little sleep and just enough chow to keep you going. You will have to learn to speak a new language. It gets better as time goes along, but it all serves a purpose. But hell, they gotta take civilians and turn them into Marines. It's got to be that way. However, when I made it through, I was a Marine, and it is without a doubt one of the proudest accomplishments of my lifetime. I'm not saying that basic training at Ft. Knox was easy, but it was much less difficult than USMC basic training at MCRD San Diego. The Corps has set a higher standard if you want to become a Marine. It all depends on the commitment you have to serve, and the expectations and discipline you are willing to impose on yourself. Good luck, and Semper Fi !

It depends on the age. For example, a 16 year old "child" is stronger in both aerobic and anaerobic than a 75 year old adult.\n\nHowever, a 25 year old adult is stronger in both aerobic and anaerobic than any child (ages 0-18).\n\nI don't have any website to support this, just going by experience and my gut, like the President himself.

As the survivor of crime, I can say the following:\n\nYES -- we need to have the laws looked at very carefully -- these Juveniles can get away with multiple crimes (that if I, an Adult, were to commit -- I'd be in jail for several decades) -- and the RESPONSE that the Law Enforcement Agencies/Legal System provides.\n\nThe Juveniles KNOW that the Legal System, Law Enforcement Agencies, and Judges will just have a revolving justice for them -- Oh, poor Juvenile -- you committed a crime -- here is your arrest, by the way parent, you have to take them home right now, then bring them to court, where they get slap on the wrist to only beat you again, rob you again, continue to victimize the parent over and over again -- and the parent can't even protect themselves or be safe in their own homes.

You can be charged with a state crime at any age.  It is simply a matter of whether you will be tried as an adult or as a juvenile.  Children as young as 10 have been charged as adults.

i'm not sure, but ask if there's a youth court or teen court system you can go through. those are systems where teenagers learn about the judicial system by serving as jurors, lawyers, bailiffs, and sometimes even judges. typically if you go through teen court yo end up doing community service and the offense doesn't stay on your record...\nmy one preachy moment: drink if ya wanna drink, but don't ever ever EVER drink and drive. it's moronic and inexcusable.

You can go to this web site:\n\nhttp://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles/172836.pdf\n\nThis is a PDF file and may take a few minutes to download and open up.\n\nOnce on this page scroll down to page 16 and read the statutory exclusion section.  This will also tell you about the different ways a juvenile can be charged as an adult. You can also go from the begining of this docuement and it gives statistics on your state and other states.\n\nThis pdf docuement has a total of 29 pages\n\nHope this helps :-)

incarceration, probation or dismissal with conditions.  Just remember that juveniles have no legal rights, other than shelter, food and clothing.

If you mean juveinile and adult levels, then there are big diferrences. Juveiniles get better treatment and don't have people trying ot kill them all the time. Adults always have people trying ot kill them They get in fights if they act to tough or too scared, and they have to watch everything they say.\n\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Prison_and_correctional_agencies

In some cases the age of the person is of little consequence and someone age 14 was tried and convicted as an adult for murder...and in Texas a kid age 15 was tried and convicted for Aggravated Assault on school grounds, he received 5 years in an adult prison.

The difference is the definition of harm.  A consenting *adult* is considered to be aware of what he's consenting to, and is considered emotionally capable of dealing with the intricacies and consequences.  \n\nA child is not considered capable of those attributes, and thus is not considered capable of offering true consent.  There is too much risk of harm, especially mentally, and too much risk of coercion (the child saying 'yes' because they feel they have to, not because they actually want to.)  \n\nIt is true that the age at which we consider someone a 'child' in this sense is somewhat arbitrary.  Where you live, it is apparently 18.  Where I live, the age of consent is 14 (with some caveats, most of which are meant to exclude coercive elements.)  This is because the people who wrote the laws had different ideas of when the above considerations I mentioned held true, and when they were not true.\n\nAlso, for those who say "God does not make people gay,"  I present to you Romans, chapter 1 vs 26-27\n\n"For this reason GOD GAVE THEM OVER to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,\nand in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."\n\nQuite clearly claims that God made at least these people gay...

I had the experience of working in a maximum security female prison for a year...I worked in a male maximum security facility for 9 years...\n\nAs an experienced officer...I would say that males are more violent than the females...but the females are more aggravating...\n\nThe women are more caring for each other than the males....they are concerned with the lively hood of each other..\n\nthe women set themselves up in environments that are called pseudofamilies...this mean they have a family structure inside the facility...., just as you would have with your family at home...there are grandparents, aunts, uncles, husbands, wifes, chidren. and cousins...there are no problems as long as no one bothers a member of the family....and yes...they are constructed just like real families...\n\nthe women are very touchy, feely with each other and a bull digger will fight real quick for her lover....most of the fights were about sleeping with someone's girlfriend or bulldigger!\n\nI can not really say that the women are really violent...I will say that some of them have committed some horrible crimes...the majority are mostly locked up for some crime that they committed while using drugs or alcohol....the majority are black females...most of the women have committed prior offnses before being locked up...\n\nIf you want to read all the statistics of the female inmates...check out the Bureau of Justice website...or visit the website...Women In Prison.....

Yes there are, of course there are.  They are federal juvenile detention centers that are basically jails/prisons that house those adjudicated delinquent of a federal offense, but who were NOT treated as adult offenders. \n\nThere are some juvenile offenders that due to the severity of their crime, are transferred to adult federal district court to be tried and convicted as adults.  However, even if that person is convicted as an adult, s/he must be housed with juveniles until s/he turns 18. \n\nMany times, the juvenile -- treated as an adult -- will be in protective custody to avoid his/her escape, as most juvenile detention centers DO NOT have the same level of security an adult facility would have.

First of all they are children and not adults. Juveniles think different than adults. Usually they are not fully aware of the consequences of their actions. By no means does that excuse their behavior, and of course their should be punishment. But the punishment should fit the crime.  Violent offenses should be treated different than non-violent offense. Juveniles respond differently to corrections than adults. I am not sure what type of offense you are talking about.  Because the depends greatly on the way they should be treated in the criminal justice system.  There are so many varying factors in crime. Especially crime committed by minors. What one must really think about is the punishment going to make a smarter criminal? Everyone knows that prison doesn't fix crime. It usually makes better criminals.
