Not only are the immediate prospects frightening when a juvenile has been arrested for a criminal matter such as the below, but the answer to the question "Have you been convicted of a crime?" can affect an entire future. The stigma of a criminal conviction can follow the juvenile, whether applying for jobs, education, or a place to live.

• Juvenile drug crimes
• Teen drinking and driving
• Juvenile sex crimes
