Definitions of "disposition hearing" on the Web:

* Hearing held subsequent to the adjudicatory hearing in which the judge determines what order of disposition should be made concerning a juvenile adjudicated as delinquent. A disposition may be probation, a warning or reprimand, some form of community service, a fine, or "home detention," in which the juvenile continues to live at home but receives rigorous daily counseling. A more stringent disposition may include training school or group home placement.

Is that it?

Like you mentioned, all I found is the definition being about a juvenile. Would a different term be used for an adult?

I guess what I'm getting at is can a 19 year old having sex with a 13 year old be considered a juvenile? That will upset me...
