Assignment:
You are directed to pay particular attention to the intricacies related to Status Offenses & Deliquency Offenses across the United States.

b. In terms of Status Offenses, what types of factors should juvenile courts take into consideration when deciding on whether a juvenile would benefit from sanctions like a curfew, community service, court-ordered counseling, etc? Elaborate.
Originality is strongly encouraged; that is, rely less on textbooks and internet sources; contribute your own thoughts and inferences. Refer to the assigned chapters in the Fagin text; the contents found in the Reading, Viewing, Listening folder; and the PowerPoint presentations Lecture Material folders for guidance.
