Katie Tinto, a UC Irvine law professor, noted that there is a growing trend of individuals being released on parole, emphasizing the understanding of trauma, juvenile brain development, and adolescent risk-taking as key factors informing this shift.

A 15-year-old was arrested after stabbing and killing a 32-year-old man in Mineola. The incident occurred at 12:29 a.m on Friday.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of setting off fireworks that sparked a wildfire in southern California, forcing evacuations of about 100 canyon homes.

A 15-year-old Novato boy was arrested for allegedly stealing private photographs from a 13-year-old and threatening to share them unless he received sex acts.

"Trafficking illegal drugs to juveniles is unconscionable under any circumstances, let alone as a government employee taking advantage of vulnerable youth in need of guidance and support."

Authorities revealed that the 17-year-old male, who remains unnamed due to his minor status, is purportedly involved in the rigorous criminal activity surrounding the wildfire.

Gardaí are investigating whether a gang of masked teenagers who tried to break into a number of vehicles in a hospital car park were copying the Lucky Dip gang. Dangerous-driving incidents over the Easter weekend led to the arrest of nine male juveniles after multiple high-speed chases.

Prosecutors allege the teen and two other male accomplices entered a home on Weld Street in West Roxbury around 1 p.m. Nov. 17, prompting a man inside the home to seek refuge in a second-floor bedroom. The teen and his purported accomplices followed, one of them allegedly pulling out a handgun and the two others brandishing knives, according to the DA's office.
