Juvenile Petty Theft

Teenage and Juvenile Shoplifting
(Juvenile Petty Theft)

When a Juvenile is accused of Shoplifting (teen shoplifting), the criminal process is different than in adult court. The juvenile crime is called an act of delinquency. The rules applied in Juvenile court are different than in adult court.

Penalties and Punishments for Juvenile Shoplifting include:

-Detention (placement or camp)
-Probation
-Juvenile record
-Fines
-Community Service

A good criminal defense attorney may be your only defense against a juvenile spending time in jail, being sent away to camp or placement.
