The organization for juvenile justice has its roots in the normal organization of criminal justice. The primary focus of a juvenile court may be different from that of a criminal court; however, the procedures have similarities in application. The organizations are committed to protecting society and holding criminals responsible for their actions. Once a child, in this case Colleen M, enters the juvenile justice facility, she goes through the process of admission, detention, adjudication, disposition, and follow-up care (Scholte, 2002 ). The initial phase is hiring. The admission procedure is also recognized as a judicial proceeding in adult courts. At this stage the judge or prosecutor decides whether to prosecute the case in juvenile court. Factors examined at this stage include; the proof of the crime, the seriousness of the crime, the criminal and judicial precedents of the offender and the positive outcome of the rehabilitation assessments of the minor. Rooted in social and legal outcomes, the case may be dismissed, handled unofficially, or an official trial may be required. During the admission process or before an official disposition, the young person may be placed in a detention center. Detention can continue until the official trial, or after the judgement. Once the formal hearing has reached the stage, the prosecutor may propose a waiver or motion for delinquency. Once the decision is made, the minor may remain in juvenile court or be transferred to criminal court. If he remains in juvenile court, an adjudication hearing will take place. A decision is made anchored on the evidence offered. If the minor is found guilty, a disposition hearing takes place. Proposals for probation or a disposition plan are considered at the disposition hearing. A...... middle of paper...... state; we also discover that his behavior towards other people in the school is below average and above all we discover that his academic performance is lacking especially in the most current school context. So going by Colleen's scores on the risk assessments, it is highly likely that she could be sent to a juvenile detention facility. It's a time bomb waiting to explode, and the explosion could be irreparable. The best corrective plan in this case is to report to the penitentiary for a violent offender. The offense may be indirect or a coincidence, but the fact is that Colleen needs help. She's a fugitive, a drug addict, and an unpredictable individual. He has committed murder twice and the possibility of him committing more murders is high. She should be detained and given full rehabilitation options such as counseling, monitoring and education.
