Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The initial philosophy behind the juvenile court system was more about rehabilitation than punishment, leading to a non-adversarial approach in proceedings. This meant that the traditional due process protections found in adult courts were not initially extended to juveniles, as the system focused on the youths' welfare rather than on legal formalities.
