juvenile offenders in adult courts  

Definición

  • The modern basis behind trying juvenile offenders in adult court can be traced to the 1966 Supreme Court case Kent v. United States, which dictated the process to be followed in juvenile court by the judge to waive, transfer, or certify the matter to an adult criminal court.
