Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

o clothes instead of black robes and sit at a table with the other participants rather than behind a bench. The primary focus of the court is on the child and not the
crime; the judge has wide discretion in disposing of each case.
Different terminology is used to reduce the stigma of criminal proceedings.
o Petitions are issued instead of warrants, the children are not defendants but rather respondents, and they are not found guilty but instead are considered as
an adjudicated delinquent..
No adversarial relationship exists. Instead of trying to determine guilt or innocence,
o the parties involved in the court work together in the best interests of the child, with an emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
Confidentiality is used to avoid saddling the child with a criminal past juvenile  court hearings and records are kept sealed and the proceedings are closed to the
public.
