A large portion of the minors who are entered into the justice system is from initial contact with a police officer. If the police officer decides that the offense committed warrants an arrest, the court process begins for the juvenile. The juvenile court process plays a crucial role in controlling juvenile behavior and delivering social services to minors in need.
