Discuss the legal rights of juveniles, including specific reference to at least two relevant legal cases
What will be an ideal response?
Once a juvenile has been taken into custody, the child has the same right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures as an adult does. Children in police custody can be detained prior to trial, interrogated, and placed in lineups. However, because of their youth and inexperience, children are generally afforded more protections than adults. Even though the Supreme Court has given juveniles the same Miranda rights as adults, police must ensure that the juvenile suspect understands his constitutional rights and if there is some question, must provide access to a parent or guardian to protect the child's legal interests. See Exhibit 13.1 page 327.
