What is Juvenile Law?
Juvenile law governs people under the age of 18 charged with an offense that would be a crime if committed by a person over the age of 18. It allows for jurisdiction of the youth even if they turn 18 before the case proceedings begin and allows for continued resolution and treatment until the age of 21. Most importantly, Juvenile Court offers children and parents or guardians access to treatment and resources they may need in order to prevent future criminal acts.
