The standards are intended to serve as guidelines for action by legislators, judges, administrators, public and private agencies, local civic groups, and others concerned with the treatment of young people at local, State, and Federal levels. The standards focus on the release, control, and detention of accused juvenile offenders between arrest and disposition. Accompanied by commentary, the standards specifically address basic principles of juvenile control and detention. Standards are presented for police officers, juvenile facility intake officials, juvenile courts, defense attorneys, prosecutors, and juvenile detention facilities. General procedural and administrative standards are also included. Appendixes contain a detention administration order issued by a juvenile court and suggested juvenile detention criteria.
