How does adjudication as a juvenile affect a juvenile's record / future?
As a juvenile, a youth's criminal record is considered confidential. In applying for employment it is not required that a juvenile indicate on a job application that they have been adjudicated (convicted) for a felony or any other offense. A juvenile should be aware that their juvenile record can be used for court matters when the juvenile becomes an adult and there are certain circumstances in which the juvenile's criminal record may be attainable by the United States government / military. The United States military typically requires signed releases of information to inquire about juvenile delinquency records. If you have any questions, please contact Human Services.
