A cornerstone of our crime reduction efforts has been a focus on juvenile offenders within our communities. These efforts have been directed at youth who committed burglaries, robberies, auto burglaries or grand theft auto. Officers of the Tampa Police Department are tasked with the responsibility of knowing the offenders in their assigned zone and conducting daily checks on offenders to ensure that they are in compliance with their court ordered sanctions. This approach to offender control has proven to be a tremendous success in crime reduction and has resulted in the increased probability

Probation in juvenile justice has a very specific role. The first important thing to keep in mind is the underlying reasons for crimes committed by youth and the importance of distinguishing this from the reasons why adults would engage in criminal activity (King County, 2012). As such, the Juvenile Probation Office regards accountability as important when young people like John commit crimes, but it is also important to prevent further delinquent activity. Hence, the Office considers incarceration or institutionalization only as a last resort

In the State of Tennessee, a juvenile is considered under the age of eighteen and has not been transferred to adult court (TN Court, n.d.). The state law that governs expungement of juvenile records in Tennessee is Tennessee Code Annotated (T.C.A.) 37-1-506.

Moore decided that he was going to press charges against the officers for the way that they mistreated him. More went to the Special Investigations Unit, a unit that investigates the allegations towards police officers for using excessive force (Edwards). The SIU investigated the case and found that the police officers didn’t use appropriate force towards Moore and laid charges against both of them. On January 25th 2011, two years after Moore was assaulted, both officers were found guilty of assault causing bodily harm by Justice Elliott Allen (Edwards). The judge acknowledged that Moore verbally abused the officers but he said that they didn’t have a right to arrest Moore. The officers had no evidence that Moore was drunk that night, and when Moore was at the hospital afterwards, not a single ounce of alcohol was even found in his system. This whole case involved both officers who stood to defend themselves saying that they were looking out for Moore because they didn’t want him to run across the street and hurt himself (Edwards). It also involved Moore who was looking to have justice served with the help of his lawyer, Barry Swadron and the SIU, Special Investigations Unit. The verdict from the Justice System left many people shocked, one of them being Paul Bailey. Paul Baily was the former president of the York Regional Police Association and said that 95% of accusations against
