For example, a juvenile who is arrested for an “adult” offense can be adjudicated in either juvenile court or adult court; if convicted, he or she can be incarcerated in either a county or state correctional facility or left in the community; and if incarcerated, he or she can be placed with either other juveniles or adults.
例如,一个青少年因犯下了成人所犯的罪行而被逮捕。他可以在青少年法院,也可以在成人法院被判刑,如果被判罪行成立,他可能被关进某市或某个州设立改教所,也可能被留在社区里。如果被关进监狱,他可能会被安排与其他青少年或成年人在一起。
