CJUS702

Discussion

 in a meaningful way to clarify your understanding of the difference  between violations of juvenile law versus delinquent acts. In the  instruction below you discuss a 15-year-old who refuses to obey the  parents’ rules of the home. You will analyze if the behavior falls in  the scope of the juvenile courts and if the juvenile will be dealt with  as a delinquent or not, and what recommendations you would make. The  purpose of this assignment will give you the opportunity to apply weeks  activities in a meaningful summary application.

Your summary discusses a 15-year-old who is taken before juvenile court  in the county in which he resides for allegedly repeatedly refusing to  obey his parents’ orders to be home before 10:00 at night. Would such  behavior fall within the scope of most juvenile court acts? Would the  juvenile be dealt with as a delinquent under the Uniform Juvenile Court  Act recommendations? If not, why not?
