Graffiti, vandalism and property defacement are all forms of property violations. This type of juvenile crime often results in less serious charges than violent crimes or drug crimes or sex crimes, but a conviction may still have lasting consequences for a minor. The specific penalties that a defendant may face in a juvenile property violation case may vary depending upon the value of property damage which was caused.
These may include, but are not limited to, expulsion from school, fines, repairing the damaged property, counseling, or detention in a juvenile facility. The minor’s parents may be held responsible for paying any fines associated with a conviction.
