Analysis Of In Re Ryan Be: A Case Study

Decent Essays
Section 602 says that a minor who commits a crime, unless it falls under section 707, falls within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, which may adjudge such person to be a ward of the court. Tre’von has not committed any crimes that fall under section 707 so he does fall under 602.
Case law proves that minors who have committed a felony have been given probation. In In re Ryan Be., a minor, who was found guilty of first degree burglary, was granted six months of informal probation under section 725(a). Because Tre’von committed only a second degree burglary, he should be eligible for probation under section 725(a). In another case, In re Am., a minor convicted of a felony second degree robbery was eligible for probation under section

    While the “criminal is a child” approach to the juvenile justice system is appealing due to its forgiving nature and emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment, there are some cases in which this decision is not so cut-and-dry. One of these instances of a legal “gray area” is the case of Marin Sinzer, who was charged for the murder of Tammy Shevin, 25 years after the crime was committed. The now 38 year old is petitioning to be tried as a juvenile, since he was only 13 at the time of the crime, a year younger than the waiver age at the time. While many proponents of the “criminal is a child” approach take that stance because of the physical and psychological dangers posed to juveniles who are placed in adult prisons, in this unique…

    Juveniles as young as 14 are being positioned in prisons with adults from minimum to maximum prisons. A minimum prison would house offenders who have committed a minor offense such as theft, while a maximum prison house felonies who have engaged in activities such as rape or murder. In 2005, the Supreme Court banned the death penalty ruling “people under 18 are immature, irresponsible, susceptible to peer-pressure and often capable of change (Scott, 2012).” Although, the court recognizes juveniles are immature, irresponsible, and susceptible to peer-pressure yet juveniles remain housed with adults. “For instance, several studies have reported a greater probability of recidivism for juveniles processed in the adult justice system compared with…

    Juvenile Crime Theft, murder, alcohol and drug offenses, cursing at a teacher and bullying are all considered juvenile offenses. These juvenile offenses almost always stay on the juvenile’s criminal record, in some cases, and the offenses that are on a juvenile’s criminal record may cause employers, educators, and other authority figures to think less of the juvenile offender.
