I would say yes and no depending on the situation, for example, if it's a minor offense like stealing clothes then no, but if it was a serious problem where someone involved got killed/murder or raped then I would say yes. My reasons why I say this is because some juvenile offenders would take advantage of their youth and do anything they want without getting a serious punishment, so I think its better to tried those who take advantage of their youth then to let them off easy knowing that they will attempt it again later in life.
