If you are guilty of committing a crime, a pre-sentence investigation is completed by probation, recommending a sentence. (For juveniles, it's called a pre-dispositional investigation.)
The probation officer will request your NCIC records, which usually includes juvenile arrests and sentences. The officer will contact any jurisdictions in that report to get background information.
If you successfully completed probation as a juvenile, that can be used as a mitigating factor that might encourage a judge to give probation instead of a jail sentence. If you were unsuccessfully terminated from probation, that could decrease the chances of probation instead of jail.
If you have a very extensive juvenile history, your chances of probation are a lot slimmer.

It depends on the state you live in and the laws of that state. Juvenile records are being allowed in more and more states to be used in crminal cases to determine sentencing.

Your juvenile record can be surpressed by court order and not seen by the jury. Will it affect a judge? You be the judge. What do you think?
