Southfield Juvenile Assault Crimes Attorney

When a person under the age of 17 is accused of a criminal offense, he or she is eligible for juvenile court proceedings and sentencing, which can mean a more rehabilitative sentence rather than a sentence focused primarily on punishment. For serious juvenile crimes, including assaults that would normally be felonies under state law, adult sentencing is possible, and even in the juvenile court system, defense representation can drastically alter the range of legal options available to an alleged offender.

Juvenile Assault Crimes Information

As mentioned above, a juvenile is legally defined as anyone under the age of 17. Juvenile cases are dealt with as “delinquency actions” in the juvenile court division of the family court system, and sentences from this court usually differ greatly from those common in adult court. While jail time, fines, and a criminal record will be on the line in adult court proceedings for an assault case, placement on the juvenile consent calendar combined with some probation-like terms is more likely in juvenile court.

Juveniles can be charged as adults if the alleged offense would be considered a felony if committed by a person 17 or older. The closer the offender is to the age of 17, the more likely it will be that a case is waived to adult court, though criminal history and other factors are also considered. In assault cases, many offenses can be waived to an adult court. Some felonies include assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with intent to commit great bodily harm, and assault with intent to murder.
