The first one to tell me what this means gets 10 points....................?

Question

Im filling out a job application and this sentence came up: "Have you accepted a disposition of adjudication withheld on any criminal charge? " What does this mean?

Answer 1

I've never seen it worded like that. How stupid of them. It means, "Have you been convicted of a crime'?

Answer 2

The court does not give a final judgment regarding the case. The defendant is given probation, a program or community service in which they have a specified amount of time to complete. If the defendant complies, the case may be dismissed, depending on the county/state. If they do not dismiss in that particular county/state, then the disposition remains adjudication withheld and the case is closed. However, if the defendant is found in violation, the case disposition may be changed and the defendant can be found in guilt.

Adjudication is the legal process by which an arbiter or judge reviews evidence and argumentation including legal reasoning set forth by opposing parties or litigants to come to a decision or judgment which determines rights and obligations between the parties involved.

Answer 7

Upon an adjudication of delinquency, the judge has discretion to impose any of the conditions listed in 18 U.S.C. § 5037. These include restitution, probation (and conditions of probation), and official detention, but not fines. There are currently no sentencing guidelines which are applicable to juvenile proceedings.Official detention may not extend beyond the defendant's twenty-first birthday for defendants under eighteen at the time of disposition, or five years for defendants between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one at the time of disposition. In addition, the period of detention may not exceed the maximum period of imprisonment statutorily authorized for adult defendants.

Juveniles sentenced to official detention are committed to the custody of the Attorney General. The Federal Bureau of Prisons designates a place of confinement. Juveniles may not be placed in an institution in which they have "regular contact" with adults convicted of crimes or awaiting trial on criminal charges. There are at present no federal facilities for juveniles; the Bureau of Prisons ordinarily places them in state juvenile or other suitable facilities under contract. When possible, they are to be placed in foster homes or community-based facilities located in or near their home communities. See 18 U.S.C. § 5039.

Answer 8

Disposition of Adjudication Withheld - Court decision at any point after filing of a criminal complaint, to continue court jurisdiction but stop short of pronouncing judgment. This is to avoid the undesirable effects of correction.

Answer 11

i cant believe how retarded everyone here is. all the answers are confusing.. when are they going to agree on what it is and give you a specific, easy to understand, and detailed, correct answer? i have no idea but what that one guy said seems accurate: "you were involved in a court case. you sought to escape punishment. the judge worked something out. no sentence is given. once you complete the required probation or community service and you dont get into trouble again your case is dismissed and then you can take action to have it expunged." i think this is a biased question, and retarded because its just way too specific. i would take the application and smack someone in the head for asking it.
