Discuss fully whether the juvenile will be detained prior to adjudication and articulate your reasons for your decision.

 

It is essential to detain juveniles before adjudication for the following reasons;

Step-by-step explanation

a). To achieve the goals of holding the youth accountable for their actions. The juvenile system restricts the apprehended children from moving/doing as they wish, especially at detention centers. It stirs the thought of guilt in the youths allowing them to take their actions more seriously.

b). It satisfies the demands of the due criminal justice process. The criminal justice system requires that arrested persons meet proper needs such as bail or fine for them to be released. The juveniles should be detained as a procedural process within the criminal justice system.

c). It provides rehabilitative services for severe cases while keeping its costs to the community at a low rate. Some youths may create more chaos once out of the detention center since they have not been rehabilitated.
