What will be an ideal response?
Intake is the initial phase of the juvenile court process. Intake is the stage at which someone must decide whether a referral merits a petition, that is, whether the matter described in the complaint against the juvenile should become the subject of formal court action. According to Griffin and Torbet (2002, 34), "Intake may be the most crucial case processing point in the juvenile justice system because so much follows from that decision. Intake authority is entrusted to prosecutors in some jurisdictions—either in all cases or in those involving allegations of serious crimes—and to juvenile court intake or juvenile probation departments in others.".
