Why?PART 2: REPLY TO RESPONSES#1: I believe a juvenile would be waived to adult court. Just due to the crime that was committed itself a juvenile committing a serious crime that shows adult behavior should in adult court. The key roles and people involved in juvenile court are mostly the people that are close to that individual so maybe a school social worker, parents or someone that the individual feels close with. Having all the important people in that individual life and getting each of their honest option about that person can help with deciding if that have a mental disorder or they committed that crime and thought out the process of it.#2: It can be many reasons why a juvenile gets waived up to adult charges. They can catch an armed robbery charge or even murder. If the judge feel as though you committed them malicious crimes than he has the right to try you as an adult. Now when you get waived up to adult court, you would be getting charged and sentenced like an adult which is only right. Their are three types of judicial waivers and those are discretionary, presumptive and mandatory. While working in a a juvenile court, the reports that you might encounter are drugs reports, sexual assault, robbery, arson, gang unit and believe it or not murder. The key players in a juvenile court besides the judge is the state prosecutor, public defender or lawyer and the suspect. The role for the prosecutor is to present his case against the defendant and prove that they are guilty. The public defender often works with the court so they are their to basically get you the lowest sentence possible. That’s why its best to have a lawyer so they can defend you the proper way to get a not guilty verdictPART 3: Scenario: You are interviewing for a position as a law enforcement officer who will be expected to interact regularly with juveniles and adults.
