Juvenile detention issues

  

Juvenile delinquency is a current issue because every day we have new and old juveniles going into juvenile detention centers for many different reasons. The following are different examples of these reasons. 10 percent had driven a car under the influence. 18 percent carried a weapon and 43 percent have drunk alcohol. 8 percent attempted suicide and 53 percent of high school students had engaged in sexual intercourse.

                         

should juvenile records be sealed or expunged?

Juvenile records can be expunged or sealed. Should we let this happen? I saw we should give the juveniles another chance to make their lives right again and change their ways. The three things that cannot be aggravated murder, murder, and rape. The courts decide to seal the records depending on if the juvenile has satisfactorily rehabilitated which is determined by an investigation based on age nature of case. Sealing is gone to the point where only the juvenile court can see it and expunging is when it is permanently gone forever.
