The criminal justice system has a branch for juvenile offenders. Established in the early twentieth century; it is the responsibility of this division to decide the fates of youthful offenders.

When a juvenile offender commits a crime and is sentenced to jail or reform school, the offender goes to a separate jail or reforming place than an adult. It hasn’t always been this way. Until the early 1800’s juveniles were tried just like everyone else. Today, that is not the case.

The juvenile justice system has many key roles that each play a very important part when making decision and handling each juvenile case. The system consists of police officers, probation officers, judges, prosecutors, and correctional workers who need to know the status of individual youth at any point in the justice process (IACP, 2014 pg 25). Each role has its own important job and have many similarities and differences with the other two roles.

These roles help make knowledgeable decisions that can put balance in community safety.
“The juvenile justice system was first created in the late 1800s to reform United States policies on how to handle youth offenders. Since that time, a number of reforms - aimed at both protecting the "due process of law" rights of youth, and creating an aversion toward jail among the young - have made the juvenile justice system more comparable to the adult system, which is a shift from the United States’ original intent (2008,Lawyer Shop.com).” The
Although based on the adult criminal justice system, the juvenile justice process works differently. Juveniles can end up in court by way of arrest, truancy or for curfew violations or running away.

The juvenile justice process involves several different steps including intake, detention, adjudication, disposition and aftercare following release from a juvenile correctional facility. In this paper we will breakdown the numerous steps involved in the juvenile justice process as well as compared some
The most influential art work in the history of art would be Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Foetus in the Womb” (c 1510-13). Leonardo might not have meant this sketch to be anything more than his curiosity and amazing artistic abilities but it blossomed into something more than a simple sketch. The field of medicine has been one of the most important changes from ancient times to modern times, and Leonardo, among other inspiring scientist, had started the introductions into the modern knowledge that exist now. But among art, this sketch might not have been commissioned, or even meant to be art, but it changed the way people looked at child birth, the fetus, uterus and many other biological processes.

Hamlet puts forward the act of insanity to find the truth that lays behind his father's sudden death.

The Juvenile System has been around for a long time. The primary reason behind separating Juvenile from adult criminals is quite simple; the judicial system believes that the children are less culpable for their irresponsive behavior and they could easily be reformed as compared to adult offenders. The crucial role of the judicial system is to critically investigate, diagnose, and recommend treatments for the Juveniles rather than accrediting them. However, because of the increasing number of juvenile arrest for crimes committed by persons considered as a child, the attention that the given to a crime involving juveniles, the decreasing trust to the juvenile system itself and the lauder roar of the society for a safer place to live in,
For starters, contact with a police officer often is a young person 's introduction to the juvenile justice system police account for most referrals to juvenile court. Law enforcement 's role with boys and girls under the age of eighteen is challenging because there are laws that federally protect youth that commit serious crimes and attempts to aid them in a road to recovery to return to their communities. Police officers generally summon young offenders to the police department 's juvenile division to question them and if necessary, confine them. At the time of an arrest, officers decide whether to refer young offenders to juvenile court or to send the case to the justice system.
The project on Typhoon Eurofighter began during period of the Cold war in 1980s, when Western countries were concerned about the presence of advanced agile fighter aircrafts in USSR, that were much better than the aircrafts that US and UK had (BBC, 2003). According to some sources Britain started to look more seriously at a new aircraft design: an inexpensive and small fighter aircraft. The RAF needed to replace Jaguar that were going out of date (McLelland, 2013). But while the concept was being considered, it became obvious that a more capable aircraft was required for the RAF New tactical aircraft was necessary, exceeding the performance of American and Soviet ones. Having experience in collaboration on Tornado aircrafts with few European countries, the West German, British and French governments started discussing this issue and consider the possibility of working together on a new programme in 1977. A few years later Spain joined the programme. Interests in four nations were air-to-air superiority. The air-to-surface superiority was the second priority but France had different perspective, willing air-to-surface first rather than air-to-air, which led to France’s withdrawal from the programme (BBC, 2003)
