Juvenile Law Defense Virginia Fairfax Manassas Beach Richmond Lynchburg Fredericksburg
Juvenile Law
In the past, it was felt that children under the age of seven were mentally, and therefore legally, incapable of committing a crime. Children between the ages of seven and fourteen were presumed to be incapable of committing a crime, but if it could be proved that they knew the difference between right and wrong, they could be convicted of any adult crime. If they were convicted, they received adult penalties, even death. Views about children’s criminality began to change in the 1800s and reformers emphasized the need to separate children from adult criminals by building separate children’s houses of refuge. These facilities stressed education in moral and religious values as well as vocational skills consistent with their philosophy that children who committed crimes needed to be guided to develop into law-abiding citizens rather than be punished. Children were placed in these facilities, often after very informal procedures, and often for “non-crimes” such as running away from home, skipping school or disobeying their parents.
Today, elaborate and complex procedures govern every aspect of the modern juvenile-justice system. Most state juvenile systems today meet the guidelines established by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act passed by Congress in 1974. The act currently requires that states implement policies to give children some core protections. Children cannot be held in a locked facility if their only offense is a “non crime” like running away from home or breaking curfew. These so-called status offenses must carry no criminal sanction, although they may trigger the need for a social-service investigation into the child’s welfare. Secondly, the act requires states to separate children from adult criminals. Children may not be held in adult jails or prisons for more than six hours (twenty-four hours in rural areas). If they are held in an adult facility for any length of time, they must be physically separated, without even sight or sound contact, from adult offenders. Finally, if a state finds that it has a disproportionate share of minority children confined in secure facilities, it must address the issue. (Minority children make up one-third of the population as a whole, but account for two-thirds of the children in secure facilities. Studies have shown that they are more likely to be put in jail than are nonminority children who commit the same offenses.)
Children who are too young or too old will not be prosecuted for juvenile crimes, usually called delinquent acts. Some states use the old common-law lower age limit of seven years; others use ten years. Children under these ages may be referred to the child welfare department but they will not be the subject of a delinquency proceeding. Most states use eighteen years as the upper limit of juvenile court authority, but some have lowered the upper limit to seventeen or sixteen years. In addition, some classes of crimes, such as traffic offenses are exempted from juvenile court jurisdiction. Moving a child from juvenile court to adult court for criminal proceedings, is a process referred to as waiver. Waiver is present in all state juvenile systems, but the requirements for its use differ. Some states allow waiver of children of any age, but most require the child to be older than thirteen years at the time of the commission of the offense to qualify for waiver. Most states also allow waiver only for more serious offenses.
In most states a delinquency proceeding may be begun for any violation of the criminal code. Instead of being charged with a crime, however, the child is accused of committing a delinquent act. The child has a constitutional right to an attorney to represent him in the delinquency proceeding. However, there is no constitutional right to trial by jury in juvenile proceedings, so in most states the hearing on the delinquency petition is held before a juvenile court judge. Since the underlying philosophy of juvenile court is to help the child, a child convicted of a delinquent act may receive treatment rather than confinement in a secure facility. Typically, children who are released into the custody of their parents with a treatment plan are monitored by a juvenile court probation officer for compliance. Children placed in secure facilities also receive treatment. Many states have an upper age limit for children in the system, so a child found to have committed a serious delinquent act may only receive a year or two of confinement before he becomes too old for the system.

Understanding Parole After you have been arrested, if you are found guilty of a crime you may have to serve time in prison or another incarceration facility. Your sentence may be cut short if you are released on parole, or you may be placed on parole after serving your full sentence. But what is parole? When might it be granted? The following primer answers those questions, and many more. What is parole? Parole is, in essence, a conditional release from prison. In some cases, a prisoner may be released on parole only when they have served their full sentence. In other situations, a prisoner’s sentence may be cut short and they may receive an early release on parole. Parole allows a prisoner, or parolee, to leave prison and re-enter the community, subject to certain limitations and rules. Parolees who break any of the terms of parole can be sent back to prison for the remainder of their sentence or face other punishment. Who is responsible for overseeing prisoners on parole? The U.S. Parole Commission has jurisdiction over federal prisoners who are released on parole. For criminals serving time in state incarceration facilities, that particular state parole board has jurisdiction. How does parole differ from probation? Parole and probation are two totally separate things. Parole occurs when a prisoner is released from prison after having served either a portion or all of a sentence. Probation is an alternative to initial incarceration. Criminals who receive probation as a sentence will be able to remain members of their community, without seeing the inside of a jail or prison, so long as they follow rules set by the court. These rules may require them to seek counseling or treatment, participate in community education or perform community service. They will also be required to attend regular meetings with their parole officer. If they break any of these rules, their probation can be revoked, and they can be sent to prison. Is parole always an option? No. For some particularly serious crimes, prisoners may not be eligible for parole. The law of the state in which they are sentenced will dictate whether they may obtain parole for a certain crime. For example, some states do not allow for repeat offenders or first-degree murderers, among others, to receive parole. In other cases, a prisoner may receive the death sentence. There is no parole for death-sentenced prisoners. How do I get paroled? The specific steps that must be followed in order to obtain parole will vary from state to state. However, the process usually starts with a request or application for parole. In some states, prisoners are required to make the request themselves. In other states, a state parole board may investigate the possibility of parole after a set percentage of the sentence has been served. Once the request or application is made, a hearing will be held. Each state has detailed laws regarding how these hearings are to be conducted and what factors may be considered. Following the hearing, the parole board makes a decision as to whether the prisoner should be released on parole. What factors play a part in determining whether parole will be granted? Any number of factors will be considered by the parole board in determining whether a prisoner should be released on parole. These factors may include the prisoner’s age, mental status, education and training, employment opportunities, and remorse for having committed the offense. The parole board will also consider the prisoner’s behavior and attitude while in prison, participation in prison-education and prison-therapy programs, and the severity of the crime that was committed. Can a prisoner have more than one parole hearing? Yes. If a prisoner requests or is given a hearing but is denied parole he or she may try again, in the future, to obtain parole by going through the same process. Does a prisoner have to accept parole when it is granted? No. Parole will have many different conditions attached to it, usually put into place by the parole board and approved by the trial court that initially imposed the sentence. Prisoners must be told what all of the conditions of their release will be before being placed on parole. If they do not like the conditions, and do not want to abide by them, they are free to reject the offer of parole. How long does parole last? In most cases, the length of parole depends upon the crime that was committed and the behavior of the criminal. Typically, parole will not last longer than five years. However, parole can last for the rest of the prisoner’s life. What type of conditions might be imposed on parole? The conditions of parole that may be imposed are controlled by state law and also by the circumstances of the particular case. A parolee might be required to remain in a specific geographical area, or he or she might be required to obtain a job, receive treatment, or submit to counseling or periodic drug testing. Parolees are, almost without exception, prohibited from owning firearms. In all cases, a parolee will be required to meet with a parole officer. Usually, these meetings will be on a pre-determined schedule. In some cases, parolees might have to meet their parole officer once a week. In other situations, they may only have to meet with them once a month. The frequency of meetings with a parole officer depends upon the type of crime that was committed and the risk the parolee poses to the general health and safety of the community. What happens if the conditions of parole are violated? If the terms of parole are broken, the punishments may vary. A parolee who is late to a meeting with his or her parole officer, for example, may be given a verbal warning. If a more serious violation occurs, such as where the parolee fails a drug test, he or she may be sent back to prison. If a parolee commits a new crime while on parole, he or she may be sent back to prison and may also face trial (and a new sentence) for the new crime. How is a prisoner’s parole revoked? Just as the process of granting parole varies from state to state, the process of revoking parole is also controlled by the laws of the particular state in question. Usually, parolees are entitled to a hearing to determine whether they have the right to remain on parole or whether they should be sent back to prison. If the parolee does not like the outcome of the hearing, he or she is generally entitled to appeal the determination. |
Virginia Expungement Laws
VIRGINIA EXPUNGEMENT LAWYER
SEAL CRIMINAL ARRESTS
STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS
The Virginia expungement lawyers of SRIS, P.C. have an extensive amount of inexpungement law. Our Virginia expungement law attorneys routinely go before the Circuit Courts of Virginia and petition the courts for expungments. If you wish to consult a SRIS, P.C. expungement lawyer, please simply contact us via email or phone. A Virginia expungement attorney of SRIS, P.C. will consult with you regarding your case and advise you about your options.
The Virginia expungment attorneys and offices of SRIS, P.C., are located in Fairfax, Manassas, Lynchburg, Richmond and Virginia Beach, Virginia, but our sphere of activity is statewide.
The following is some basic information about expungements:
1. What is an expungement?
Expungement of a record means that a criminal record is wiped from the slate. As a result, expungement makes the crime as if it never occurred. By successfully getting an expungement, each law enforcement agency will destroy their records of the crime. Expungement differs from getting a record sealed, which some people confuse the two for. By getting a record sealed, the file will remain intact but can only be released to other law enforcement agencies, so employers and other people cannot get a hold of the record but is not completely erased like an expungement will do.
Now with the Internet able to give access to limitless amounts of information, expungement is being sought at a much greater frequency. People are contacting attorneys that specialize in expungement criminal law because of the growing paranoia that a tarnished record will affect their future. Employers have access to criminal records and it can influence the decisions made because of it and an expungement can help prevent an otherwise debatable situation.
In some instances, charges that were dismissed can still appear on record to show that the individual is under indictment and an expungement can help diminish any confusion about a situation. Although found to be innocent by the law, records can cause suspicion to law enforcement agencies, employers, and anyone else able to access the records if an expungement is not sought. Some states are changing their expungement laws in order to allow for some people to petition for the removal of records, though laws regarding expungement differ from state to state.
In any case, with services on the Internet that now allows a minimal charge to search criminal records, expungement has become almost an obsession for many people afraid of how their records will negatively influence their reputation. For more information on expungement, please contact us to confer with an expert SRIS, P.C. criminal lawyer in handling expungements.
2. Who is eligible to get records expunged?
A person charged and then acquitted, who had charges nolled, or granted an absolute pardon, may petition for expungement. A first-offender arrested for a misdemeanor may have records expunged. Also, any person whose name or other identification has been used without his consent or authorization by another person who has been charged or arrested using such name or identification.

By getting a record sealed, the file will remain intact but can only be released to other law enforcement agencies, so employers and other people cannot get a hold of the record but is not completely erased like an expungement will do.
Now with the Internet able to give access to limitless amounts of information, expungement is being sought at a much greater frequency. People are contacting attorneys that specialize in expungement criminal law because of the growing paranoia that a tarnished record will affect their future. Employers have access to criminal records and it can influence the decisions made because of it and an expungement can help prevent an otherwise debatable situation.
In some instances, charges that were dismissed can still appear on record to show that the individual is under indictment and an expungement can help diminish any confusion about a situation. Although found to be innocent by the law, records can cause suspicion to law enforcement agencies, employers, and anyone else able to access the records if an expungement is not sought. Some states are changing their expungement laws in order to allow for some people to petition for the removal of records, though laws regarding expungement differ from state to state.
In any case, with services on the Internet that now allows a minimal charge to search criminal records, expungement has become almost an obsession for many people afraid of how their records will negatively influence their reputation.
