There are many cases were 10-18 year olds have been convicted, not to mention Thomson and Venebles being controversially tried in an adult court.
Last time I was in court I saw a 17yr old get fined for the 3rd time, and she didn't look at all bothered, which is why I stand by my views that fining doesn't make a difference.
