Differentiate between serious, chronic, and violent delinquents
What will be an ideal response?
Serious, chronic or violent juvenile offenders are often transferred out of the juvenile justice system to the criminal justice system. The likelihood of such transfers increases with increased frequency of offending, increased severity of offending and increased offender age. However, it is still important for those working in juvenile justice to be familiar with this population.
*A serious juvenile offender has been convicted of a Part I offense as defined by the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, excluding auto theft, petty theft/larceny or distribution of a controlled dangerous substance.
*A serious child delinquent is between the ages of 7 and 12 and has committed one or more homicides, aggravated assaults, robberies, rapes or serious arsons.
*A chronic juvenile offender has a record of five or more separate charges of delinquency, regardless of the offenses' gravity.
*A violent juvenile offender has been convicted of a violent Part I offense, one against a person rather than property, and has a prior adjudication of such an offense or is a youth who has been convicted of murder.
