Crime involving kids under 18 is certainly not unique to our
area. Unfortunately, juvenile crime
rates run higher than average in the Bay area.
By county - Monterey, San Francisco, San Joaquin, and Alameda Counties
rank one, two, three, and four in statewide rates for homicide for young people
10-24.
What are some of the most common juvenile charges?
1. Larceny or
theft. Shoplifting, personal
property…whatever it may be.
2. Vandalism. Kids seem to love altering the look of things
and “showing the man”.
3. Disorderly
conduct. Often time this happens at
school.
4. Alcohol. They can’t wait to turn 21 and teenagers
(just like adults) make bad decisions when drinking is involved.
Juvenile crime in the state of California is no joke. The courts will not just give your kids a
slap on the wrist. One thing is
certain…a conviction could affect your child for the rest of his or her
life. When a loved one is accused in
this area turn immediately to San Jose juvenile crime defense attorney William
Chestnut. Put his four decades of
experience to work for your family by calling (480) 298-6990.
