Paying of Damages and Counseling At A Glance

Some rulings by a juvenile court judge or conditions of detention diversion negotiated directly with an officer of the court regarding monies are a more mild form of punishment as compared to detention. Fines do get assessed by juvenile justice systems.

Another possible outcome of recommendations made by juvenile probation officers is that children attend some more group-oriented, community-based juvenile probation programs, perhaps in tandem with individual plans outlined by appointed counselors. Not only will these treatment programs offer services like anger management and social skills training designed to confront negative influences on delinquency, but they also are another means of holding children accountable for the terms of their probation.
