What happens to the detention duration limits for minors if the offense is classified as violent?

When an offense committed by a minor is classified as violent, the duration limits for detention typically increase. This shift acknowledges the nature of the crime and the potential risk to public safety or the need for a more thorough evaluation of the minor's behavior and circumstances. In many jurisdictions, the legal framework allows for longer detention periods when dealing with violent offenses, reflecting a more serious approach to such incidents and the associated risks. This can include extended assessment durations, the need for more rehabilitative measures, or the complexities involved in managing cases with violent elements. The rationale is based on the belief that violent behaviors may require additional interventions and monitoring to ensure both community safety and proper legal processing.
