What is the punishment for a second offense shoplifting for a juvenile?

Question

My friend was arrested for a 2nd time for shoplifting. She was 16 the first time, and 17 this time. She was given 20 hours community service and had to write an essay the first time. Value of the merchandise was about 11-12 dollars. What do you think shes going to get punishment wise?

Spanking!

Answer 2

its the death penalty!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!! or a punch to the face!!!!!!!! LOL

Answer 3

She'll get her own tv series on channel 4, probably.

Or a nice house from the council.

Answer 4

It depends on how much it is. At 17 they may charge her as an adult. If it was over 500.00 is a felony. But judging by the amount of her first theft she's a petty thief. They may give her time. Not a lot but enough to scare her behind. Tell her in this day and age it isn't worth the record trying to steal. Cameras now of days are so tiny and sophisticated that they can see anything.
