Answer to Question 1

John Smith, an advocate of the treatment model
In the treatment model, the state is represented by the juvenile court and deals with children differently than it does with adults, by substituting a more informal and flexible procedure.
In the treatment model, a fatherly and benevolent juvenile judge would gently, and in a friendly manner, probe the roots of the child's difficulties in the court room.
The mental, physical, and social needs of the child are the focus of the treatment model, and many rehabilitation efforts are implemented before the juvenile is processed into the
system.
The treatment model encountered considerable criticism in the late twentieth century, but it is experiencing a resurgence of research and interest in the early twenty-first century.
