youthful offenders n. under-age people accused of crimes, who are processed through a juvenile court and juvenile detention or prison facilities. In most states a youthful offender is under the age of 18. Often a court has the latitude to try some young defendants as adults, particularly for repeat offenders who appear to be beyond rehabilitation and are involved in major crimes like murder, manslaughter, armed robbery, rape, or aggravated assault. A youthful offender has certain advantages: he/she will be kept in a juvenile prison instead of a penitentiary, is more likely than an adult to get probation, can only receive a maximum prison sentence not to exceed a 25th birthday or some other limitation, and cannot get the death penalty.

KARACHI, May 29, 2009 (Balochistan Times) -- Deputy Speaker Sindh Assembly, Shehla Raza has urged for concerted efforts to initiate educational and vocational training facilities at the Youthful Offenders Industrial School (Juvenile Jail), Karachi. Public Correctional Policy on Youthful Offenders Transferred to Adult Criminal Jurisdiction Introduction: Juveniles have developmental needs that require highly specialized management and treatment by corrections professionals; therefore, a separate system of corrections for juveniles was developed in states across the country many years ago. The bill further revises current law, which only permits one category of young adult offenders to be housed with youthful offenders while another category is precluded--now both categories of young adult offenders could be housed with youthful offenders. |
