New Jersey S367 expands juvenile waiver to adult court for motor vehicle theft and makes juvenile use in such thefts a strict liability crime.
New Jersey S367 expands the offenses for which a juvenile may be waived to adult criminal court to include certain thefts or unlawful takings of motor vehicles. This bill also makes the use of a juvenile in the theft of a motor vehicle a strict liability crime, meaning the person using the juvenile is guilty regardless of their belief about the juvenile's age. The Juvenile Justice Commission will collect and analyze data on juvenile waiver decisions, and the Attorney General may develop guidelines for county prosecutors to ensure uniform application of the law.
