Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

There are four primary mechanisms for juvenile transfers to adult criminal courts: judicial waivers, prosecutorial waivers, statutory waivers, and automatic waivers. Judicial waiver laws permitand sometimes even requirejuvenile court judges to transfer a juvenile to adult court for criminal prosecution. For certain offenses in 15 states, prosecutors have the option of filing delinquency petitions in juvenile court or filing criminal charges in adult court. Since either the juvenile courts or the criminal courts may handle such cases depending on the court in which the prosecutor elects to file the case, prosecutorial waivers are sometimes called concurrent jurisdiction waivers. Nearly 30 states have enacted laws which grant exclusive jurisdiction over certain crimes to adult court regardless of the age of the offender. These laws effect statutory/legislative waivers. A special form of automatic transfer operates in about 34 states for youth who have already been prosecuted as adults in the past. These so-called automatic waivers are built on the premise of once an adult, always an adult.
