There is a national standard that all states follow when handiling juvenile offenders?

true or false

True?
Answered by Reed
No. Criminal laws vary from state to state. The Supreme Court has ruled that automatic life imprisonment for murder committed by juveniles is unconstitutional. Otherwise, it varies.
