I don't think the real world comparison works here, Remnant has kids as young as 15 running around with what are basically superpowers and lets them carry around giant sniper scythes without a second thought. Society probably trusts them to be mature and responsible enough to have that power, and that means their age wouldn't really be a mitigating factor.

Regardless of her age, remember that Yang is a trainee huntress. She was trusted with deadly weapons and could absolutely kill a ton of civilians/untrained people if she really wanted to (remember what she did at the Club). She absolutely wouldn't be trusted with that power ever again if she was seen willing to attack a defenceless person in front of the entire world.

Also, regardless of how she is sentenced and if juvenile prisons exist, I'm sure she would still be arrested even if she wasn't imprisoned.
