The policy implications should outline the rules and regulations provided by the court on the specified issue. It is the duty and responsibility of the court to choose which treatment program is appropriate for each family. These policy implications will be based on the type of crime and will be mandatory only for the defendant and his family. For status-related crimes, troubled youth are required to participate in court deliberations/alternative dispute resolution program. During the mediation hearing the parties are asked to resolve their mutual disputes and reach an agreement. As part of that agreement, the court will mandate a program for juveniles. The length of the program depends on how often it runs (30 days, 90 days, year-round). If the court finds that the parent is not eligible, he or she will also have to participate in the program. Once the program is completed, the family should notify the court and provide the court with an updated academic progress report. If the teen complies with the agreement, his criminal record will be sealed. If the teen does not comply with the agreement, the case will be heard before a judge. For more serious crimes, juveniles should be required to participate in an extensive treatment program. These programs are expected to last up to a year. If the child continues with his behavior after the in-depth treatment program, the court decides whether to send him to an RYDC or a more comprehensive RYDC.
