ABSTRACT
The demography display that juvenile delinquency is soaring, even with excessive programs and specific services to regulate it. The exaggerated motives of juvenile delinquency are carefully though about. These cover poor home status, unsteady families that only consist of a mother, father and child, and families that treat their kids oppressively and negatively, as well as the ones who neglect their children in an over lenient way. It is also known that the teenage years are a time of discomfiting, uneasiness, and times of disobedience that needs precise, yet stable, paternal guidance. Some other delinquency reasons that will be defined are the disadvantaged education, lack of interest, destitution, lack of work beliefs, aggressive behavior found only in males, and rival pressure. Most researches show that juvenile delinquency tends to be high in metropolitan sections, due possibly to the strain of overpopulation, underprivileged living situations, an nonexistence of normal way out for combative feelings, and the letdown of a normal social life. This report will display that juvenile delinquency will be dissuaded by a close- knit family connection that supports a child’s self-confidence and discipline adverse conduct.
In this case of the twelve year old boy who has a history of juvenile delinquency and is charged with the following charges, attempted sexual assault of a minor, aggravated assault, minor in possession of an alcoholic beverage, and unlawful possession of a controlled substance (marijuana). Some of these charges from the viewpoint of the police officer can be considered status offender, such as minor in possession of alcoholic beverage and possession of a controlled substance (marijuana).
What normally happens to a juvenile when he/she is arrested is the officer can either give the juvenile a warning (depending on the severity of the crime) and let him/her go or hold the minor in custody until their parents or guardians show up. If the severity of the crime is severed than the officer will place that youth in custody and send the case to juvenile court. When an apprehension is secured, the officer issue a juvenile subpoena and provide a police arrest statement that illustrate the occurrence, records the charges, designate a court appearance date, and constitute an agreement to come forth endorsed by their parents.
If the crimes involve a dangerous juvenile offense and the officer think that the well-being of the child or the protection of the public necessitate that the youth be confined to the original court trial, the police officer may without delay deport the youth to a juvenile detention center maintained by a legal affiliate. Once the juvenile is in detention they go through method call admissions. It is at the admissions level that the prosecuting (DA) attorney decides whether to send the case proceeding to juvenile court; this is similar to what is revealed in an adult criminal justice system as pursuit. This is when several circumstances are assessed by the DA. The testimony is examined and the enormity of the crime is carefully thought about along with if the juvenile had any prior records with the juvenile courts before. After the judgement and reconsideration of all the facts the states attorney can recommend that it be removed, or managed without formality and the youth may be placed in custody pending an official hearing in front of a juvenile court justice.
The prosecuting attorney should then file a request to the court in a period of 48-72w hours contingent on the youths original charges. If for some reason the juvenile is let go then the prosecuting attorney
