On military installations subject to exclusive federal jurisdiction, the investigation and prosecution of juveniles for alleged violation of federal crimes is conducted in the federal court system. The federal court system often tries juveniles as adults and it lacks juvenile-focused resources. Federal law, however, permits the State to accept concurrent jurisdiction over juvenile matters on military installations if a request is made by a United States official and the Governor, via Executive Order, accepts the request.

An Act To Amend Titles 10 And 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Concurrent Jurisdiction Of Juveniles Who Commit Crimes On United States Military Installations.
