I am not sure what your are speaking of. Restate your question. Juveniles (in most states) are adjudicated in a separate court away from adults. Most are held there until a Juvenile reaches their 16th birthday, unto which any new charges will be tried in regular court.

Do you mean "young offenders" or "young defendants?"\n\nBoot camps work for a certain type of kid, who needs to build confidence in themselves to get involved in something more wholesome than whatever got them into the court system.  They toughen up physically and also mentally.  However, toughness is one of the problems for some kids, so care must be taken.  Also, some kids really are too fragile in health or emotional stability to stand up to the boot camp's demands.  One more failure is not a good idea for these kids.

You are a juvenile until the age of eighteen, at which time the government believes a person should be mature enough to be held accountable for his /her own actions.  A juvenile delinguent is a child that is out of control doing just what he pleases, not caring who he hurts. Parents can't control him nor the courts either, so they put them in kids jail.

I've included a link below about its role, and an excerpt below:\n\n"In the Supreme Court, a Judicial Case Conference (a "JCC") is scheduled. A JCC is an informal, off-the-record hearing before a judge to discuss the basics of case and whether there is any prospect for a settlement of the issues. A JCC is also useful for setting dates by which things must happen, such as the exchange of financial information, and for setting a trial date. Both parties must attend the JCC in person along with their lawyers."

The first answer is correct for deposition.\n\nYou might be thinking about a disposition.  This is another word for sentencing.  In Indiana, we use the word "disposition" for juveniles, and use "sentencing" for adults.

There are a number of situations where a juvenile can go to the court and get the judge to approve something, rather than going to their parents. The most traditional is emancipation, where the court acknowledges the minor is mature enough to leave home and be legally distinct from the parents. \n\nThis concept has also come up with many health-related laws, where a minor can get the court's approval for certain medical procedures, if they are scared of their parents' reaction. The judge is sometimes empowered to authorize the procedure based on the child's mature decision, even absent parental approval.\n\nEach state's laws are different. Check your local listings.

Juvenile court is not the same as adult court, it is not always at finding them guilty as making sure that they are safe and properly supervised.\n\nAlso who is droping the charges,  in most courts, there is not a prosecutor like in adult court, but there is a juvenile court officers that present the cases and oversee thier help.\n\nIf the victim merely wants "charges" droped that does not mean they are droped either.  If the criminal charges were droped for varoius reasons ( also rules of evidence are not the same as adult court rules)\n\nBut if the court beleives something in the juveniles home or supervision makes them at risk, they can still take them before the judge

No definitely not, and besides that, jail does nothing to reform juvenile offenders, it just integrates them into a culture of adult offenders.  I think the key to curbing delinquent behavior in kids starts with the family- we don't have the reigns as tight on our kids as our parents had on us, and it shows.  Kids need curfews, jobs, and a sense of respect in general, and no amount of threats will instill that.

All interesting topics. Two sides to all the issues so you can choose any side you want. Juvenile justice I like. Some people think that we need to charge 14 year olds as adults and throw away the key. But there's a lot of info on the other side too. 14 year olds aren't adults when they're "good' so why are they when they're bad. It can be argued that we need a better system. There is science that teenage brains aren't fully developed. And it's a money issue-if you throw a 14 yr old in prison for life instead of rehabilitation, that gets expensive. Not to mention our prisons are full. And then the war against drugs. Another great topic. Do some searches using some of those terms-wikipedia.com is a good place to start looking for ideas....

Are you a juvenile asking adult questions in the Love and Romance Category? You should be asking your mother or father these types of questions; because it is inappropriate for an adult to answer a juvenile in this type of forum. I am sure that your parents would agree. There is a Teen & Preteen page that you can ask other juveniles these types of questions adult don't want to go to prison and be made out as pediphiles in here. Please will you go to the Teen & Preteen page?

the term "closed court" is used to refer to a court proceeding where members of the public are restricted from access to the court room proceedings due to the nature and sensitivity of the case.In criminal matters, usually juvenile cases are held in closed court unless the minor is charged with specific violent crimes or asks the court to open the proceedings.In civil matters,most family law proceedings and mental competency hearings are delt with in closed court.

Please expand on your question.  In most cases, juveniles get MORE freedom than adults for the same crimes/accusations.
