Yes. Some commit serious crimes that a civilized society simply cannot permit,such as robbery,arson,rape or murder. In such case, juveniles can be tried as though they were adults

Yes. Age and offense factor in when considering charging a minor as an adult or as a juvenile.
Many courts have become VERY intolerant of minors committing crimes thinking they will get away with a slap on the wrist because they are minors and will charge accordingly.

The answer to this question is yes---
a minor can be tried and convicted as an adult in an adult court. The majority of the time the cause of such offense is for a horrific crime just as murder!

Yes. Every state has different rules though. All states require children under 18 to be "certified" as adults for the purpose of a criminal hearing. Once a child has been certified, that child can be tried as an adult forever. Some states only allow certification for serious violent felonies.

The jurisdiction of youngster courts varies very much through state and united states. no longer each and every united states has a particular courtroom for little ones who commit crimes. You seem asking if the regulations of each and every position could all grant no exceptions and may require that each and every individual crimes through all juveniles be heard in a particular juvenile courtroom. likely, you're also suggesting that the juvenile courtroom could don't have any authority to order a detention middle sentence. My opinion is that maximum crimes through maximum kids should be dealt with in a courtroom that lacks the authority to order someone to a ordinary reformatory. There are a number of causes for that. even with the indisputable fact that, there should be exceptions. there are kids who're state-of-the-paintings and experienced criminals who present day an exceedingly good risk to society and could proceed to present day that risk. Society must have a mechanism for shielding itself from those uncommon little ones who're sociopathic criminals.

Most definitely. In the county where I live we had a 10 year old charged as an adult for stabbing his little sister to death. Just depends on what the "young person" did.

Yes of course they are but...
I see you've asked a dozen questions about criminals and the law in the last few minutes. Thinking about committing a crime, are we?
