Juvenile Crime Lawyer in Long Beach, CA

Juvenile crime is defined as a crime committed by someone under the age of 18. At 18, a person is an adult and will be tried as an adult. Juveniles, however, are treated differently within the court systems. Often, punishments are lighter and judges are more lenient toward juveniles. Juveniles might have more than three strikes, and they are not allowed to enter the prisons with the adults. They typically go to juvenile detention centers for rehabilitation and continuing education.

Some crimes, however, find juveniles being tried as adults. Every area of the country views juveniles differently, which means that their crimes differ from place to place.
