How Are Children And Youth Prosecuted For Crimes?

The goal of the adult criminal system is to punish, while the goal of the juvenile criminal system is to rehabilitate.  Even though they are different, the consequences of juvenile crimes can still be serious.  Under Florida law, juveniles (under 18) can be prosecuted for a wide variety of crimes. Juveniles can also be charged as adults under certain circumstances.
