FAQ
Since 1970, the standard of proof in juvenile court is preponderance of the evidence. One of the differences between juvenile courts and adult courts is that juveniles are "adjudicated delinquent" instead of "found guilty."
The 1970 Supreme Court case, In re Winship, ruled on the standard of proof that applies in juvenile court cases. The case holding was that if a minor is charged with conduct that would be considered criminal if committed by an adult, the accused has the right to have their guilt proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
In 1970, the Supreme Court raised the standard of proof necessary in juvenile court to that required in adult criminal court. In in re Winship (397 U.S. 358), the Court required that juveniles charged with criminal acts be proved “beyond a reasonable doubt” to have committed them.
The key philosophical principles of the juvenile court movement: • The state is the “higher or ultimate parent.” • Children are worth saving. Children should be nurtured. Justice needs to be individualized. The needs of the child mandate use of noncriminal procedures.
Juvenile delinquency proceedings are sometimes referred to as "Section 602 proceedings" after the applicable section of California law that governs delinquency proceedings. Judges hear cases in juvenile court. There are prosecutors and defense attorneys, but no juries.
At the adjudicatory hearing (trial), witnesses are called and the facts of the case are presented. In nearly all adjudicatory hearings the determination that the youth was responsible for the offense(s) is made by a judge; although, in some States the youth is given the right to a jury trial.
The juvenile justice system is a multistage process: (1) delinquent behavior, (2) referral, (3) intake/diversion, (4) transfer/waiver, (5) detention, (6) adjudication, (7) disposition, (8) juvenile corrections and (9) aftercare.
What are the steps or stages in the juvenile justice system? The juvenile justice system is a multistage process: (1) delinquent behavior, (2) referral, (3) intake/diversion, (4) transfer/waiver, (5) detention, (6) adjudication, (7) disposition, (8) juvenile corrections and (9) aftercare.
The juvenile justice process involves seven major decision points: (1) arrest or intake, (2) referral to court, (3) secure detention, (4) waiver to adult criminal court, (5) case petitioning, (6) delinquency finding/adjudication, (7) disposition (including probation, or confinement in a secure correctional facility).
After the conclusion of the adjudication, the judge will either dismiss or sustain the petition. A sustained petition is the juvenile court equivalent of a conviction in adult court. If a petition is sustained, the juvenile court judge will pass sentence on the minor.
