JD20003 Working With Juvenile Offenders
Before submitting your Assessment, carefully review the rubric. This is the same rubric the assessor will use to evaluate your submission, and it provides detailed criteria describing how to achieve or master the Competency. Many students find that understanding the requirements of the Assessment and the rubric criteria help them direct their focus and use their time most productively.
First, read the following case study:
A 15-year-old holds up a corner convenience store using a gun. Although the offender threatened the clerk with the gun, no one was injured. The 15-year-old has no prior record. The offender did run from police when he spotted them coming up the walk to his house but, once apprehended, he did not resist arrest in any other way.
The father of the offender is currently serving a prison sentence for assault, and has a prior arrest for drug possession. The son reports that he recalls his father being intoxicated, often not home, and belligerent when he was present.
[ANSWERED] JD20003 Working With Juvenile OffendersThe offender’s mother works two jobs, and therefore the offender is without supervision for long periods. The mother does not have any criminal record. Upon contact, she was concerned about her son. However, she said that she could not come to an intake meeting conference at the requested time for fear of being fired from her job. The offender’s grandmother lived in the same apartment with the offender and his mother, providing supervision, but she died one year ago.
Since the grandmother’s death, the offender has been suspended from school for a minor altercation and is frequently truant. Prior to the grandmother’s death, the offender had good attendance.
The offender does admit to the crime but will not provide information about how the gun was acquired; however, it likely was acquired from another youth in the neighborhood.

SAMPLE
In 500 to 750 words, address the following. Keep in mind that the audience for your writing is professional (e.g., probation officer, judge).
(a) Determine a classification for the type of offense described in the case study.
The United States government classifies crimes into robbery, murder, aggravated assault, burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and more. Crimes carry different punishments depending on their impact on people’s lives. The officers have different directions to make if they apprehend a certain offender; it can be easy to classify the type of the offenses, but they can override each other (Choi et al., 2021). In many countries and even the United States, children below the age of consent are juveniles. The treatment of these people can be different because they enjoy some government protection. The offense in the case is robbery with violence because the teen used a gun. While he did not commit the act, it can be attempted robbery because the boy threatened the clerk or operator with a gun, and no one was hurt. Therefore, it cannot be an assault because there are no casualties.
