Conclusion

Juvenile Probation is a good step for the law to introduce or teach the concept of responsibility to the youth . Taking on consideration the number of juvenile supervision since 2004 in the statistics stated above , it is obvious that this could become a state problem . However judging from the actions that the state is doing , it can be seen that the government is doing everything in their power to solve the problem There are

several websites regarding juvenile probation and juvenile delinquency and the government is pushing more programs to fit in to the needs of the juvenile offenders in the state .Appendix A . State by State Waiver Laws by Minimum Age
