The Ins & Outs of Juvenile Crimes
In Florida, juvenile courts are more interested in rehabilitation rather than punishment. That said, a child charged with a crime should take the matter seriously, as serious penalties could apply. There is no guarantee that the judge in your child’s case will be lenient.
Common juvenile crimes include:
- Assault and battery
- Petit larceny
- Burglary
- Drug crimes
- Disorderly conduct
- DUI
- Trespassing
- Shoplifting
If your child has been charged with a crime, it is recommended that you hire an attorney with distinct experience handling juvenile criminal cases, as the juvenile justice system operates differently than the adult justice system.
