Answer to Question 1

Handling juvenile offenders can produce major role conflicts for police. They may experience a tension between their desire to perform what they consider their primary duty, law enforcement, and the need to aid in the rehabilitation of youthful offenders. Police intervention in situations involving juveniles can be difficult and emotional. Role conflicts are common because most encounters between police and juveniles are brought about by loitering and rowdiness rather than by serious law violations. Another role conflict arises in the use of juveniles as police informants. Police must balance the need to obtain evidence and the vulnerabilities of and extra safeguards that are needed for juveniles in these cases.
