Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Juveniles have additional rights and protections under the law, such as the right to have a parent or guardian present during questioning and the requirement for police to explain their rights in a way that they can understand. Additionally, juveniles are considered less mature and may have more difficulty understanding the consequences of their actions, which may affect the way they are questioned and the admissibility of their statements in court.
