Juvenile In Detention

On 05/23/2018 at approximately 2226 hours, I, Deputy A. Martinez Vazquez (117015) responded to 211 Mission Rd., Oviedo, Seminole County, Fl. In reference to a disturbance inside of the residence. While in route to the residence, I was notified that the disturbance turned physical against a mother and daughter. Before I arrived to the residence I was notified that the 15 year old female juvenile was inside of her room.

In the Juvenile Case #1, the client suspected of burglarizing and murdering the elderly lady should be tried in a Juvenile Court rather Adult court which would be in the best interest of the child. To begin with, the client has no juvenile delinquent record and had minimal behavioral issues in the Juvenile Hall, which aids to their side since they have a clean history and this is the first record of criminal behavior. With this in mind, it is plausible for the minor to change to become a better civilian through rehabilitation which is made possible by the Juvenile court. The client has proved their ability to improve themselves by earning a high school diploma and attending voluntary treatment programs which shows the success of the juvenile

Around 250,000 youth are tried, sentenced or incarcerated as adults in the United States every year. On any given day around 10,000 juveniles are housed in adult jails and prisons. Of the juveniles held in adult jails, most of them are awaiting trial, as 39 states are required that youth charged as adults be held in an adult jail before they are tried. Though as many as a half of them will not be convicted or will be sent back to juvenile justice systems, most will have spent at least one month in adult jail, and one in five of them will have spent over six months there. The juveniles held in adult prisons have been convicted as adults; the laws and standards of this practice vary widely by state.

Juvenile courts have a wide range of sentencing options (usually called "disposition orders") that they can impose on juveniles or youth offenders who are found to be "delinquent" (that is, finding that the minor violated a criminal law). Typically, disposition options fall into two camps: incarceration and non-incarceration. One non-incarceration option in particular -- probation -- forms the backbone of the juvenile justice system. Read on to learn about the different kinds of sentencing options used in juvenile court, the ins and outs of probation, and whether a disposition order can be appealed or changed. (For more information on juvenile court cases, see Nolo's article Juvenile Court: An Overview.)

Children delinquency prevention and reduction shouldn’t be as complicated as it is today. It is said that many juveniles are becoming formally involved in the juvenile justice system due to having some sort of learning disability and/or because of behavior and discipline problems with his/her school also known as the school to prison pipeline. Kids with learning disabilities were detained more frequently and frequently came across detention centers compared to kids that don’t have disabilities. When an educator gives up on a child, the child will tend to have a negative self-perception and have a low frustration tolerance that’ll unfortunately be a factor to his/her future delinquent actions. Rejection of peers, low self-worth, dropping out

“In the area of making arrests, law enforcement officers will detain a juvenile in order to provide protection for them as well as for the community. This is called preventative detention. Not all states afford juveniles the right to a jury trial. Defendants have the right to apply for bond or bail. All defendants have a

USELESS JUVENILE INCARCERATION SYSTEM 2A Broken Juvenile Detention SystemThe juvenile detention system is broken because all troubled teens should be treated for instead of punished, rising recidivism rates are caused by punishment itself. The youth spends a lot of time that could be spent in a classroom behind bars. This issue is like a butterfly effect affecting society. The youth should be getting treated instead of being punished, serving punishment is the root of the problem. Justice cannot be served with racism floating throughout the air, racism pollutes the verdict.First off, wasted time is a wasted effort and time is something that can’t be received back.Juveniles are humans and have minds, actions, and feelings like every human being, it has to be kept in mind that control can’t be kept over everyone. Think about owning a restaurant, logically an owner won’t want to remain open in business if work is slow, get very little customers, receive bad reviews, use tools in an unsafe manner endangering people around you. Well I wouldsay a detention facility is very similar. If it’s not bringing any benefit to the youth or their families, then what is the purpose of having these facilities as a form of punishment? Facts are provided based off some of these facilities major flaws. “Specifically, the report will show that these facilities are frequently: (1) dangerous, (2) ineffective, (3) unnecessary, (4) obsolete, (5) wasteful, and (6) inadequate. A subsequent chapter addresses the question of public safety,finding that states where juvenile confinement was sharply reduced in recent years experienced more favorable trends in juvenile crime than jurisdictions which maintained or increased their correctional facility populations....” (Mendel, 2013). Logically, based on the results provided it issafe to say that not confining juveniles will show a positive outcome. The juvenile crime rates are favorably lower for cities and help maintain correctional facility population to a norm. Solid

There is a purpose for the court, and different types of courts. For example, there is a purpose, and a scope with in the juvenile court (Cox, Allen, Hanser, & Conrad, 2014). This just means that each state will customize what their needs are for juvenile court (Cox et al, 2014). This can be a good or bad thing within the system. Furthermore, there has to be a purpose for the court. This is short means the cases they will be hearing. This could mean abuse, delinquency, or family issues (Cox et al, 2014).

After arriving at the Johnson County Juvenile Court House on April 12, and meeting with Judge Andrew Roesener to sign the legal documents needed to be allowed to observe the court room, then after walking in I then proceeded to the back of the courtroom to find an open seat. After taking a seat in the back I immediately realized that the juvenile courtroom’s setup was slightly different from that of other adult courtrooms I have previously sat in for other classes. In the juvenile courtroom, some of the differences I noticed was that the room was smaller than a normal adult courtroom, that the prosecution and the defense were separated one on each side of the room, with the two sides being separated by the witness stand, which meant that the

In the following case we must prepare a pre-sentence recommendation report for a juvenile delinquent. The male offender grew up in an impoverished family as indicated by his school records. The boy acquires a part-time job at a local grocery store where he stocks the shelves and provides basic clean-up. The owner supplied the boy with this job after he caught him stealing the first time. The owner catches the young boy stealing meat for the second time; his explanation for stealing the food was to help his mother who was unable to provide enough food for his family. Since the young adolescent stole for the second time breaking the rules of his adjudication it is recommended that he be sentenced to a juvenile detention center.

The juvenile justice system is similar to the criminal justice system. This system is where juveniles are processed, and may be arrested after referrals for juvenile delinquency. Juvenile justice is very different in every state and can be very similar as well because every system has limited jurisdiction and that most focus on the offenders and not their offenses. Therefore, there are 51 juvenile justice systems in the United States. The United States has the juvenile justice system because children are very different than adults – in that they can be better receptive for change and also being easier to rehabilitate. Moreover, the main goal of the juvenile justice system is rehabilitation (Juvenile Law Center). The juvenile justice system is made up of police, courts, corrections, probation and parole services, as well as community-based programs to name a few (book).

“I used to believe are our future but now I realize that this, sadly isn’t the reality. Through laws that treat kids like adults, the government is throwing away the future of children in this country.” (D. Lee) An estimated 200,000 juveniles are tried as adults. The term juvenile refers to any young person under the age of 18. For most states in the United States, the age of majority is 18. While there are many things that juveniles are unable to do until they reach the age of 18, being charged as an adult for a crime is not amongst those things in some states. Juveniles are not allowed to vote, drink alcohol, or sign a legal contract, yet they can be charged and treated like adults when it comes to them being

The juvenile court is different from the adult court in that juveniles are not adjudicated guilty. THe thought that the female juvenile can use her experiences as manipulation in a court that is meant to evaluate why juveniles are displaying behavior is sexist. Male juveniles experiences are treated as facts that show risk factors, and the female juveniles experiences should be treated

Theses rights include: knowing why they are in the facility in the first place, having a speedy trial if needed, having a right not to speak in a trail, to introduce evidence on his own behalf, to confront witness against him, to represented by a counsel and many other basic human rights everybody has (Mull). A teenager may also make a grant to hold a trial if needed or wanted. Some people have or want the judge to decide the sentence an adolescent is getting. The judge also decides whether or not an adolescent should stay in a juvenile facility or adult jail depending on the case and their crime (Marcovitz, 36). In a juvenile detention center there are some major differences between that and an adult jail. For example there is a bit difference in the due process of law since it is more limited and you a not able to bail a teenager out of any juvenile detention center. There is also no public trial by a jury, this is called adjudication hearing and a teenager will not be prosecuted for any crime they commit, no matter how bad the crime was. Another main difference is the juvenile courts are way more lenient towards the defendant than in an adult case would be (Mull). With all of these rights and limits a teenager will still be able to have a comfortable stay, yet strict stay, in any juvenile facility they are put in. The teenagers will also be able to express themselves and still be able to learn a lesson for the crime they committed which got them into juvie in the first

Many girls in juvenile detention have been previously victimized, making them very vulnerable. Statistics show, “90 percent have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse; 41 percent have signs of vaginal injury consistent with sexual assault; and a third have been or are currently pregnant, according to the National Girls Health and Justice Institute” (Beadle 1). Many girls are also afraid to confess to their needs, as their is almost no privacy in the detention centers. Beadle states, “Without privacy, girls are unlikely to reveal important health information, especially when they have previously been victimized.” Most delinquents do not even receive basic health care. It is stated, “… only half of all youth in detention had received
