There is a wide range of different juvenile crimes that can result in all sorts of punishments that are passed down through the family courts of the juvenile justice system. To list just a few of the most common juvenile matters that numerous teenage delinquents are often charged with include the following:

• Delinquency
• Vandalism
• Petit larceny
• Robbery
• Burglary
• Drug offenses

The specific punishment and fine penalties that are handed down through family court systems in regards to juvenile matters depend a great deal on the specific crime that has been committed. A teenager that commits any of these or other crime could face such punishment as community service, time spent at a rehabilitation facility, probation, time spent at a juvenile detention facility or even time spent in jail. When a trial is the chosen direction, a jury is not an option available in family court. This means that the guilt or the innocence of the defendant is a verdict that is determined solely by the judge.
In many situations, relying on the expertise of a skilled juvenile crime attorney is all that is needed to get the charges of juvenile matters completely dropped or at least get felony charges reduced to a misdemeanor.
