  • The Juvenile Case Of Ricky Smith

    838 Words  | 2 Pages

    The juvenile case of Ricky Smith was brought to the attention of the Michigan Juvenile Court as he had been initially referred for truancy. However, his probation had been extended due to Mr. Smith being found driving a stolen vehicle. According to People v. Smith (1991), Mr. Smith was referred to the juvenile court again for riding a bicycle while under the influence of alcohol and for stealing candy bars. The juvenile court, again, chose to extend Mr. Smith’s probation, even though he had clearly demonstrated non-compliance with the rules of his probation by continuing to accrue delinquent charges. An additional report was filed with the court alleging that Mr. Smith had violated the terms of his probation due to a curfew infraction and threatened an officer. It appears that the Assistant District Attorney in the case attempted to have Mr. Smith’s case transferred to adult criminal court after he had been charged with stealing a woman’s purse. However, the court denied the request to do so. After the denial, Mr. Smith was sentenced to a boy’s reform school. He absconded from the facility and was listed as a runaway until he was found later, as an adult, with pending adult charges.

  • Florida’s Juvenile Justice Civil Citation Law

    2008 Words  | 5 Pages

    The state of Florida has passed a new law pertaining to the Juvenile Justice System which gives the officer that makes first contact with the youth offender. The officer may, if the youth has no prior criminal acts and the offense is a non-violent or non-drug related offense, just file a civil citation. This happens to be a new program designed to address a youth’s behavior at their first encounter with the Juvenile Justice system providing an alternative to being arrested. Vital to the Department of Juvenile Justice’s effort, civil citations will help reform the juvenile justice system by handing first-time misdemeanor offenders the chance to participate in intervention programs at the earliest stage of delinquency. Civil citations saves millions of dollars by curving first-time misdemeanor offenders, that would have otherwise been spent if the youth had been arrested and forced to go through formal delinquency procedures. The civil citation process put into place by the state of Florida starts with the arrest forms being held and then a diversion process begins. Once the assessment completed to determine the youth’s needs a referral to the appropriate Community Diversion Service is given. The diversion service may consist of a Teen Court, First Offender Program, or any other Diversion Programs the community may have set up. If successful the teen will have no juvenile record and be released from the program. With unsuccessful youths, there arrest form will be completed and a record of the offense will go on the books then they will be sent to delinquency intake to spend some time in a facility for juvenile offenders.
