Which phrase best completes the diagram of the juvenile criminal justice process?

A. Defendant is given the choice to be tried as an adun
B. Grand jury rules on whether charges should be dropped
C. Intake officer determines whether case should go to court
D. Lawyers present evidence at adjudication hearing

C. Intake officer determines whether case should go to court

Explanation:

Going by the diagram, it shows that, minor or juvenile offenders generally enter the juvenile justice system through law enforcement, and it is Intake officer that determines whether case should go to court or not.

Often times, after arrest, a decision is made by intake officers to let the matter go to the justice system or remove the case out of the system, specifically into alternative programs.

This is mostly done, after law enforcement has discussed with all the parties involved, which includes the victim, juvenile, parents, and after a review of the juvenile's background with the juvenile justice system has been conducted.
