Answer to Question 1

The answer should include an adequate amount of the following information:
 Options include a formal or informal disposition.
 Formal options include arresting and booking the juvenile.
 Informal options include the youths being taken to the police station where their situation is discussed with them and the parents, followed by the youth being sent home with his parents.
 The two most important factors that influence an officer's decision are the severity of the crime and the citizen complaint. This scenario involves a non-serious offense and a victim who does not desire prosecution.
 This case would be a good opportunity to involve the parents and let the juvenile go with a warning.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
