The guide aids in the formulation of juvenile justice legislation by providing key information (hypothetical questions and responses) which, irrespective of philosophy or intent, should apply to any legislation related to juvenile justice.
Abstract
The questions and answers are classified into several categories: interstate placement of children, subsidies for local delinquency prevention and control services, youths in adult courts, and services to children in juvenile courts. Questions focus on the intent of the bill or subsidy, contemplated procedural changes, the effect on budgets, contemplated transfer of authority, and expected changes.
