What age should children be charged as adults, in certain crimes, like burglary?

Answer #1

It depends. There’s a good reason that there is no one answer to this and judges rule on a case by case basis. Mur.der is often charged in adult court, while petty theft is generally dealt with in juvenile court. It depends on the situation, the circumstances, the crime, the injury, etc.
