question 19 (2 points)
an exception to the general rule of juveniles being tried in juvenile courts includes those who

a) are arrested for less serious offenses

b) are arrested for part ii offenses

c) are scheduled for trial after their sixteenth birthday

d) have a lengthy record of crime

Explanation:

To determine the exception to juveniles being tried in juvenile courts, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Less serious offenses typically keep juveniles in juvenile courts, so this is not an exception.
• Option b: Part II offenses (usually less serious/non - index) don't warrant transfer out of juvenile court.
• Option c: Being scheduled for trial after 16th birthday doesn't automatically mean transfer; many 16 - year - olds still go to juvenile court.
• Option d: Juveniles with a lengthy crime record (repeat offenders, especially with serious offenses) can be transferred to adult court, which is an exception to the general rule of juvenile court trial.

Answer:

d) have a lengthy record of crime
