Juveniles convicted of shoplifting can be sentenced to a period of time in a detention facility. For a disorderly persons offense, the juvenile can be sentenced to six months in the detention facility. For a fourth-degree offense, the sentence is one year, and for a third-degree offense, the sentence is two years. A second-degree offense results in three years in a detention facility. However, first-time offenders are rarely sent to detention centers if it is a disorderly person’s offense. It is likely that these juveniles will only get community service and pay restitution.
