Parent Information

Juvenile Justice System: 

The juvenile justice system differs from the adult criminal system. The juvenile system concentrates on holding the youth accountable for their actions, while keeping the community safe, and repairing any harm that has been caused. If your child has been contacted by the police they will not be treated exactly the same as an adult who has been contacted by the police. The terms used in juvenile court also differ from those of the adult court.
