Define and discuss the intake process.
What will be an ideal response?
The intake process serves to classify and manage youths before adjudicatory proceedings. At intake, it is determined if cases should be sent to the juvenile court or other social service agencies. The process controls the use of detention and diverts what would otherwise be an unmanageable number of cases in the juvenile court. The deployment of the process itself is, however, dependent on the resources available to a particular juvenile court. Larger probation departments will have intake units for juveniles, while smaller departments use juvenile probation officers to make intake decisions.
