child in the juvenile or the criminal justice
system will have an impact on every step of his
or her experience. Although the exact laws and
practices of the systems vary from state to
state, broad underlying beliefs differentiate the
two systems. While the juvenile system is often
thought to be more lenient in its punishments,
there are often stricter regulations throughout
the process. In the juvenile system a child may
not have a right to a jury trial or bail.
