violation. After the hearing, Johnny's stipulations now included the recommendation to
participate in a more intensive program, the Juvenile Drug Court Program. Johnny was not
amenable to this decision and reacted by stealing a car. Johnny was arrested and held a
pending contact with the juvenile authorities and the judge.
Throughout this course, we have been discussing Juvenile and Adult Supervision. There are
clear differences between all of the processes from intake to termination. This assignment
focuses on the steps of supervision in a juvenile case that could be transferred to the adult
court if it meets specific circumstances.
What You Need to Do:
You need to write a paper (6- to 8-page) for this assignment. Your paper should follow all APA
format and citation guidelines. Please utilize 3–5 credible, outside resources in this assignment
and document them using in-text citations and properly formatted references. Include a thesis
statement in your paper and finalize it with a strong conclusion.
Your paper should include answers to the following questions:
1. Identify what would be the first course of action for Johnny as he enters the juvenile justice
system through the intake process.
2. Identify and discuss what offender status Johnny might be classified under upon intake and
why Johnny meets that criterion.
3. Identify and discuss what programs and stipulations a Juvenile officer may assign to Johnny
and explain how an officer might implement Johnny's supervision. Use information from your
textbook and from local programs within your community.
4. Identify the next steps in the juvenile process keeping in mind the new charges brought forth
in Johnny's case. For example, discuss why Johnny would remain under supervision, why he
would be detained, or why the adjudication process would begin?
5. Determine at which point in this scenario Johnny could be adjudicated and sentenced as an
adult.
Compare and contrast the juvenile supervision system with the adult court process for Johnny's
case. If Johnny is tried as an adult, hypothesize what the potential outcomes could be for this
case.
