Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. If the police decide not to take into custody or arrest a particular juvenile, none of the rest of the official legal machinery can go into operation. 2.

Researchers are generally in agreement concerning the role of race in police-juvenile encounters. 5.
