Juvenile Hall Questions, How many offenses must you commit to get in?

Question

how many offenses must one (juvenile) commit in order to get into juvenile hall? Is juvenile hall usually punishable because of multiple offenses? or does it commonly get punishable IF the criminal only committed to one crime? any help? I basically want to know, how many crimes does one have to break to get into juvenile hall? What punishments does one receive BEFORE juvenile hall is a possibility?

Answer 1

It all depends on the type of crime (I.e. murder, burglary, robbery, assault, etc.).  It also has to do with the judge.  You may have just stolen something and if the state law states that you can be put into jail, then that is up to the judge to decide!

Answer 2

Going to juvenile hall is not quantity... but quality.

One armed robbery would probably do the trick.  

Mouthing off to parents enough times might qualify for delinquency.

If you wind up in front of a judge for a minor offense, and he had a fight with the prior juvenile.. he might throw the book at you.
