Question 2

Scenario: You are a juvenile judge in Boulder, Colorado and you need to sentence a 15-year-old boy who has been found guilty of his fourth shoplifting charge in the six months year. He is introverted, has no close friends, and his father has been in prison for the last seven years. You have the option of placing the offender in a detention center or an attention home.
  Question: Which of the two options would be the best fit for the offender and explain your reasoning.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

An Attention Home would be the best fit in this case.
(i) Detention centers are also called juvenile halls.
 Intended to be temporary holding centers.
 Administered by the court, although state agencies, city or county governments, welfare departments, and juvenile courts also manage these facilities.
 The traditional detention center has sparked many horror stories.
 These facilities have a toxic environment.
(ii) Attention homes were initiated in Boulder, Colorado, and have spread to other jurisdictions.
 Their stated purpose is to give juveniles attention rather than detention.
 These facilities have no fences, locked doors, or other physical restraints.
 They also provide more extensive programming and encourage more interaction among residents and staff.
