Answer to Question 1

The flow of the juvenile court begins with intake, which is how a juvenile enters the court system. This can come from a delinquent act, the police, the school, or the family. Once intake has occurred, a decision is made on whether or not to petition. Petition is equal to the decision to charge in the adult system. The decision to not petition could lead to the juvenile's case to be dismissed or for the juvenile to proceed through the system on an informal basis. Next is the adjudicatory hearing. During this stage the judge, the prosecutor, and the defendant are in the courtroom to determine if there is evidence that the juvenile is guilty of a crime. The disposition plan is often developed by the juvenile probation officer and consists of what the sentencing should be for the juvenile. Finally, judicial disposition is the actual sentencing hearing for the juvenile.
