TEEN COURT <br /> Teen Court has been established in communities to add a <br /> new concept of diversion and accountability to our <br /> Page Three: <br /> Juvenile Justice system. It is directed toward juvenile <br /> misdemeanor offenders. <br /> The proj ect will eventually involve the creation of a <br /> teen (peer) jury system which will bring together <br /> juvenile offenders, their peers and community agencies <br /> to determine logical and natural consequences for the <br /> offenses. <br /> The purpose of the process is to get young people to take <br /> responsibility for their actions, to provide restitution <br /> to victims and the community and to give the community <br /> an active role in solving juvenile crime. <br /> An information "packet" put together by the City of Kyle <br /> has been added for further details and information. <br /> *SEE ATTACHMENT E <br />B.
