The police play a key role in the juvenile justice system because
they are, typically, the point of first contact. Their decisions
often affect the youth throughout the entire juvenile justice
process. For example, depending on the nature of the offense,
the arresting officers might use their discretion in deciding
whether to release the suspected delinquents to their parents or
to book them in the local jail or detention facility. Juveniles
who are booked are more likely to be dealt with formally should
they once again come in contact with law enforcement.
Likewise, an officer might decide to handle a juvenile suspected
of a delinquent offense (which would be considered a crime if
committed by an adult) differently from a juvenile suspected of
a status offense (which is an offense only because of the age of
the suspect) because of basic differences between the two types
of offenses.
