Answer to Question 1

The principles motivating the Illinois reformers were these:
1 . Children should not be held as accountable as adult transgressors.
2 . The objective of the juvenile justice system is to treat and rehabilitate rather than punish.
3 . Disposition should be predicated on analysis of the youth's special circumstances and needs.
4 . The system should avoid the trappings of the adult criminal process with all its confusing rules and procedures.

The key provisions of the act were these:
1 . A separate court was established for delinquent and neglected children.
2 . Special procedures were developed to govern the adjudication of juvenile matters.
3 . Children were to be separated from adults in courts and in institutional programs.
4 . Probation programs were to be developed to assist the court in making decisions in the best interests of the state and the child.
