Assignment 4: Law and Procedures Issues
The school district wants to ascertain the applicable law and procedures that govern juvenile crime and the courts. You’ll have to research and inform them about both federal laws and your state’s laws in this area. They’re interested in the kinds of courts used, the differences in the procedures used for juveniles and adults, as well as the juvenile sentencing options. They also want to discover the circumstances that would permit a juvenile offender to be treated as an adult.
Finally, they want to know if the teachers in their school district are allowed to search the students and their lockers any time that they want or if there are restrictions on such conduct. They again want both the federal and state laws in this regard.
