Juvenile Delinquency in Petroleum, MT
Unfortunately, in many areas of the Petroleum County, juvenile delinquency offenses are on the rise. There are many reasons for the inflation in youth offenders. The juvenile sentence in Montana often depends on the severity of the crime, the number of charges, and other family matters.
A lot of counties, including, Petroleum County, are focusing on family counseling and relationships rather than punishment for juvenile crimes. Future Petroleum County juvenile delinquency tallies will show whether or not this approach is working.
