Juvenile Court Case Analysis

The vulnerability requires special protection and care of children primarily from the state because of the failure of the parents or guardian in doing so. The transition of a child from the care of the parents/ guardian to the care of civil society/ government may turn out to be a time consuming ordeal accompanied with harsh experiences during this journey. The Juvenile Justice Act clearly specifies that the proceedings regarding the child in need of care and protection has ro take place in the child welfare committee, but nevertheless, during the pendency of the case, a child may have to face very many ranging from difficulties in being able to put across in words his atrocities and developing understanding about the new experiences of being

Today’s juvenile court system handles most cases involving those under the age of 18-year-old. This was not always the case and the ideal of a separate court system for adults and children is only about 100 years old. When looking at the differences that set juvenile courts apart, it is important to study the history and see how it developed over time.

take some time in order to make the proper decision. There are a few different ways

The law lists various factors to be considered by the court in making these decisions. If the court determines that the criteria for transfer have been met and sufficient probable cause has been established, the juvenile may be transferred to criminal court. The disposition of the juvenile shall be as if the juvenile was an adult. The order of transfer shall specify the grounds for transfer and a bond can be set if the offense is bailable pursuant to the state of Tennessee's law. The Reverse Waiver is also implemented. If a nonlawyer makes the decision to transfer the case, a special provision entitles the juvenile to an immediate de novo rehearing at the criminal court level. After a petition has been filed alleging delinquency based on conduct that under the law a public offense has been committed, local ordinances and the court of the state of Tennessee before hearing the petition on the merits, may transfer the juvenile to the sheriff of the county to be held according to law and to be dealt with as an adult in the criminal court of competent jurisdiction. The criminal court may either accept jurisdiction or remand the case to

On November 15, 2015, I, Cpl. Lessane, along with Deputy Jordan, with the Hampton County Sheriff's Office, responded to 2427 Bamberg Highway, in the county of Hampton, regarding disturbance with neighbors. Upon arrival, Deputies made contact with the complainant, Brandy Davis, who stated her neighbor, Wanda Carroll, kids were being disrespectful. Deputies gathered the pertinent information needed to complete this report.

The Tennessee standard for transferring juvenile offenders from the juvenile court system to adult court examines multiple factors such as age, the seriousness of the crime committed, and a transfer hearing must be conducted (Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts, 2017). The state of Tennessee requires the juvenile be at least sixteen when the crime occurred, or a request for transfer can initiated if the child is less than sixteen and commits, or attempts to commit one of the following crimes: first degree murder, second degree murder, rape, aggravated rape, rape of a child, aggravated rape of a child, aggravated robbery, especially aggravated robbery, kidnapping, aggravated kidnapping, especially aggravated kidnapping, commission of an act of terrorism, or an attempt to commit any such offenses (Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts, 2017). If the prosecutor is seeking prosecution in criminal court, then a juvenile transfer hearing will be held to determine probable cause for the transfer (Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts, 2017). Let us examine the elements the prosecution must establish during the hearing in order to complete the transfer.

On March 23, 2010, a cop drew closer Israel Leija, Jr. at a drive-in diner with a warrant for his capture. Leija continued to lead the police on a fast pursue on the interstate while occasionally calling the police dispatcher, saying that he had a weapon and threatening to shoot the officers pursuing him. The officers proceeded with their interest, and different officers sent spike strips. Trooper Chadrin Lee Mullenix, after discovering that other spike strips were set up, chose to seek after the substitute strategy of shooting at Leija's car keeping in mind the end goal to stop it. Despite the fact that he had not got preparing on this move, he educated one of the officers in quest for his arrangement and radioed his manager for authorization. Before accepting the permission of his boss, Mullenix got in position on a

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.

Tennessee, like many other states, has provisions, provided for in the state laws, for the transfer of juvenile offenders to the adult courts for trial. The youth court has to follow the procedures, which are outlined in the statute, to include the minimum age of a juvenile, who is to be transferred to the adult courts, and the specific crimes for which such a transfer may take place. While I recognize, as the United States Supreme Court did in Roper v. Simmons, (2005), that children are immature, and easily led astray, there are times when the protection of the community mandates that certain juveniles be treated as adults. This should be done on a case by case basis, and only for the most heinous and violent crimes.

The boy was charged after his mother brought him to state police barracks the day of the murder, saying her son told her "he got mad, lost his temper and grabbed a cane and put it around Novak's throat," police told The Associated Press.

Before this class I only knew a few things about juveniles, and even then it wasn’t in detail it was just the very basics. Even though I did not know that much about this course before taking it learning the information was very interesting and thought provoking. I knew that a juvenile was someone under the age of eighteen. I also knew about the dare Program because they had that when I went to elementary school and I attended it. I also knew that a juvenile could get into trouble with the law and could go to court. I knew that depending on how serious the crime was he could go to a detention center or to jail. Again these are just the basics that you pick up on when going through school and getting older. This class helped me learn some of

Due process is a right guaranteed by the several Amendments to the U.S. Constitution assuring a defendant (adult or juvenile) the right to receive counsel, be proven innocent/guilty by an impartial judge/jury and the right to fair and equal treatment and protection of the laws in judicial or administrative proceedings (Siegel & Welsh, 2014).

Serious crimes such as murder, burglary and rape have raised questions as to whether the young offenders should face severe punitive treatment or the normal punitive measures in juvenile courts. Many would prefer the juveniles given harsh punishment in order to discourage other young people from engaging in similar activities and to serve as a lesson to these particular offenders. However, results from previous studies indicate such punitive measures were neither successful nor morally acceptable. Instead, the solutions achieved have unfairly treated the youths and compromised the society status (Kristin, page 1).
