Juvenile Court: Addressing community needs

Re: “The value of Juvenile Court” [July 30, Opinion]:

As a probation officer with Denver Juvenile Court docket for 30 years (1971-2001), I’m cognizant that the thrust of a Juvenile Court docket has all the time been the safety of the group and the rehabilitation of juveniles who’ve been delinquent.

As famous, “Responses to the issues of youth who commit critical crimes should not easy. Options require compassion and sources.” Being a Juvenile Court docket Choose similar to co-authors Melinda J. Younger or Judith H. Ramseyer will not be a straightforward or glamorous job. As such they could not salve the group conscience however do make a valiant try to handle group wants. Thus, they need to be appreciated for being and having been caring, conscientious and compassionate judges.
