Battery is the actual striking of someone against their will.<\/p>\n<h2>How Juvenile Courts Handle Assault Charges in Arizona<\/h2>\n<p>If your child is charged with an assault offense, the consequences can be extremely serious. First the court will make a decision on whether or not your child is a delinquent, meaning that he or she would be charged with the crime if older than 18.<\/p>\n<p>The court will then consider a list of factors such as past offenses to decide what the appropriate punishment will be. Your child might be subject to custodial or non-custodial dispositions.<\/p>\n<p>If the juvenile is a first time offender, the punishments are typically much less severe. These might include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minimal probation<\/li>\n<li>Community service<\/li>\n<li>Parental supervision<\/li>\n<li>Juvenile detention<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When juveniles are repeat offenders, the sentencing becomes harsher. Higher degrees of assault such as \u201caggravated assault\u201d may also result in worse sentences and lengthier terms of incarceration.<\/p>\n<p>Most dispositions imposed on juvenile assault offenders are geared toward rehabilitation, though if danger to the community and\/or property is foreseen by the court, the juvenile could face harsher sentences and longer detentions.<\/p>\n<h2>Protecting Your Child Facing Assault Charges<\/h2>\n<p>At JacksonWhite Law, you will have the best opportunity to protect your child from a harsh sentence by the court.
