No, the juvenile justice system is meant for crimes committed by juveniles.[/quote]

Under certain circumstances.  However, the severity of the crime is a factor in determining whether to move the case to criminal court.

Factors to determine discretionary jurisdiction
Factors to consider when waiving from juvenile court to criminal court and vice versa

1) Age of juvenile
2) Mental & physical condition of juvenile
3) Amenability of juvenile to juvenile treatment
4) Nature of offense & participation
5) Public safety
