Excerpt
Working with juveniles involved in juvenile or adult criminal court cases differs from working with adults in criminal cases. These differences arise from the developmental immaturity of juvenile defendants, from the juvenile courts’ explicit mandate to provide rehabilitation for youths who come before them, and from procedural differences in both juvenile and adult courts. The vast majority of juvenile criminal cases that are referred for forensic evaluation involve adolescents; cases involving children and preadolescents are typically handled with less formal procedures.
