In this example, the judge is asked to decide what the appropriate disposition is for Trey's case. Disposition orders for juveniles usually fall within two categories: incarceration and non-incarceration. When it comes to non-incarceration options, probation is usually the most common one. We know that Trey was already on probation for burglary. Therefore, it is likely that probation is not a strategy that works with him and that he needs a harsher sentence.
The least serious incarceration sentence is house arrest. However, we know that Trey's father is a single father and is unable to spend time with Trey. Therefore, this would not be beneficial for them. Therefore, I would recommend that Trey is temporarily held at a juvenile hall or a juvenile detention facility, most likely followed by a period of probation.
:Intentional torts are wrongful acts done on purpose. The person does not need to actually mean harm, but the other person ends up hurt anyway, such as in a prank. Or, the person can definitely mean harm, such as domestic violence cases
An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.
In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The Pacific Plate consists of most of the Pacific Ocean floor and the California Coast line. The North American Plate comprises most the North American Continent and parts of the Atlantic Ocean floor. The primary boundary between these two plates is the San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is more than 650 miles long and extends to depths of at least 10 miles. Many other smaller faults like the Hayward (Northern California) and the San Jacinto (Southern California) branch from and join the San Andreas Fault Zone.
The Pacific Plate grinds northwestward past the North American Plate at a rate of about two inches per year. Parts of the San Andreas Fault system adapt to this movement by constant "creep" resulting in many tiny shocks and a few moderate earth tremors. In other areas where creep is NOT constant, strain can build up for hundreds of years, producing great earthquakes when it finally releases.
