The juvenile courts must decide what programs options are best suited for the juvenile based upon present demographical and criminal factors, and cater those options to the specific offender. Furthermore, the goal of the juvenile court system is to provide juveniles with sufficient skills to eliminate their delinquent behavior while reinforcing positive behaviors to avoid future criminal activity.
