| 单词 | juvenile offender |
| 释义 | juvenile offender A juvenile offender cannot be sentenced to imprisonment; instead he may be sentenced to a detention and training order of up to two years, half of which is normally served in a young offenders’ institute and half in the community. If found guilty of murder or some other grave crime he must be detained in a place and on such conditions as the Home Secretary may determine. The Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 provides that the Parole Board, rather than the Home Secretary, has responsibility for the release of juveniles convicted of murder. A juvenile offender may not be made subject to a community order but a youth rehabilitation order may be imposed. He may be fined or bound over (see bind over); he may also be discharged (absolutely or conditionally). The procedures for dealing with juvenile offenders are now governed by the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999, the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000, the Criminal Justice Act 2003, and the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008. See also child safety order; parenting order. |
