Waiver of Jurisdiction，英美法术语，放弃（少年犯罪）司法管辖权。

Waiver of Jurisdiction：the process through which the family division of the circuit court relinquishes its jurisdiction over a juvenile who has committed a criminal offense, and transfers the case to the criminal division of the circuit court.

在美国，少年犯罪法律程序与正常的刑事法律程序不同，因为它们根据少年（未满18周岁）的特点而设计。每个州都有不同类型的制度来处理它们的青少年事务，一些州还设有实际的少年法庭，而其他州将少年事务放在家庭或遗嘱法庭里面处理。不过，当被控的犯罪非常严重时，拥有就少年事务进行聆讯的司法管辖权的大多数法庭可能将案件转人审判法庭。转移少年犯罪案件的过程被称为放弃司法管辖权。

放弃司法管辖权分为两种类型：

1.Automatic Waiver 自动放弃

If a juvenile between ages 14 and 17 is charged with certain violations specified in statute(e.g.,murder, armed robbery, first degree criminal sexual conduct),the prosecutor may file a complaint charging the juvenile as an adult. Such cases automatically come under the jurisdiction of the criminal division of the circuit court. Automatic waivers are sometimes referred to as“prosecutorial waivers”.

如果一名14至17岁的少年被指控违反法律规定的某些行为，例如:例如，谋杀，持械抢劫，一级刑事性行为)，检察官可能会提起诉讼，指控未成年人作为成年人。这类案件自动归巡回法院刑事部管辖。

2.Traditional Waiver 传统放弃

If a juvenile between ages 14 and 17 is charged with any felony,the prosecutor may file a motion requesting the family division of the circuit court to waive jurisdiction. If the prosecutor's motion is granted,the case is transferred to the criminal division of the circuit court, and the juvenile is tried as an adult.

如果一个14岁到17岁的少年被指控犯有重罪，检察官可以提出动议，要求巡回法院的家庭部门放弃管辖权。如果检察官的动议被批准，案件就会转到巡回法院的刑事部，未成年人就会被当作成年人来审判。

参考双语例句：

In this regard, while some members agreed that there was a general reluctance to accept an implied waiver based on the acceptance of an agreement, some doubts were expressed by others regarding the assertion by the Special Rapporteur in his report that State’s consent to be bound by an international agreement establishing universal jurisdiction for grave international crimes or precluding immunity did not imply consent to the exercise of foreign criminal jurisdiction in respect of its officials, and therefore waiver of immunity.

在这方面，一些委员都认为普遍存在着不愿接受根据接受某一协议的暗示放弃，但还有一些委员则对特别报告员在报告中的声称表示怀疑，特别报告员声称说，国家同意受国际协议的约束，规定对严重国际罪行的普遍管辖，或者将豁免排除在外并不意味着同意对其官员行使外国刑事管辖，从而放弃豁免。
