Minor incidents can be the predecessor of juvenile delinquency. Each youth is expected to make full restitution for all damages resulting from the incident. If multiple youths are involved, then restitution is divided equally among the participants. Restitution is collected through the Youth Services program. When the total amount is received, one check is written to the victim.
Victim advocacy is assured.
