When the juvenile is charged with a status offense
When the juvenile is charged with a delinquent crime
When the juvenile is not charged with a crime
Final Answer:
Juvenile booking procedures, including taking photographs, fingerprints, and other physical samples, are typically carried out when the juvenile is charged with a delinquent crime.
Photographs, fingerprints, and physical samples are typically taken during the booking of a juvenile when the juvenile is charged with a delinquent crime. This process becomes part of the juvenile's record and is used for future reference in the legal system. A delinquent crime is an act committed by a juvenile that would have been considered a crime if committed by an adult. Examples include burglary, auto theft, battery, and other more serious offenses. In contrast, status offenses and being not charged with a crime usually do not require the same level of data collection during the booking process.
