As part of promoting the well-being of children, families and communities, New York State passed legislation that raises the lower age of juvenile delinquency to 12 years old in almost all cases, as of December 29, 2022 (Chapter 810 of the Laws of 2021, as amended by Chapter 38 of the Laws of 2022).
A judge can sentence a juvenile who has been found to be delinquent by issuing a disposition order. Sometimes they will sentence the juvenile to a period of incarceration, but probation and other more lenient options are common.
Probation, the most frequently used criminal sanction, is a sentence that an offender serves in the community in lieu of incarceration.

Typically, juveniles and young adults are sentenced to 2 to 6 years in the YOS, with a community placement and aftercare provision for the last 6 to 12 months of the sentence.

A Juvenile Delinquent is a youth between ages 12 and 15 who has committed an offense. 16 and 17 year old youth charged with all misdemeanors or felonies that have been removed from Criminal/Supreme Court are also considered Juvenile Delinquents.
