Juvenile Delinquency in Ulster, NY
Unfortunately, in many areas of the Ulster County, juvenile delinquency crimes are on the rise. There are many reasons for the increase in youth offenders. The juvenile sentence in New York often depends on the severity of the crime, the number of offenses, and other family matters.
