In this portion of your paper, describe the following roles as they pertain to the juvenile justice system. Each should be their own section and should fully and accurately describe the role of each:

  • Police
  • Juvenile Court
  • The Prosecutor
  • The Defense Attorney
  • Juvenile Probation/Parole Officer

PART II

After you have fully defined the roles of each of the above, write 2-3 paragraphs of what you think is the most effective role and the has the ability to have the most significant impact on the youth offender.
