Juvenile Probation

Juvenile probation is a legal alternative to incarceration for young offenders who have committed crimes. Instead of being sent to a detention facility, these youths are supervised by a probation officer while living at home or in the community. They must follow specific conditions, such as attending school, completing community service, or undergoing counseling. The goal is to rehabilitate the young person, prevent future offenses, and encourage positive behavior, all while holding them accountable for their actions. Successful completion of probation can lead to a cleaner legal record and better opportunities for the future.
