The purposes of the Juvenile Services Act shall be to (1) assist in the provision of appropriate preventive, diversionary, and dispositional alternatives for juveniles, (2) encourage coordination of the elements of the juvenile services system, and (3) provide an opportunity for local involvement in developing community programs for juveniles so that the following objectives may be obtained:(a) Preservation of the family unit whenever the best interests of the juvenile are served and such preservation does not place the juvenile at imminent risk;(b) Limitation on intervention to those actions which are necessary and the utilization of the least restrictive yet most effective and appropriate resources;(c) Encouragement of active family participation in whatever treatment is afforded a juvenile whenever the best interests of the juvenile require it;(d) Treatment in the community rather than commitment to a youth rehabilitation and treatment center whenever the best interests of the juvenile require it; and(e) Assistance in the development of alternatives to secure temporary custody for juveniles who do not require secure detention.Source   Laws 1990, LB 663, § 3;   Laws 1992, LB 447, § 7;   Laws 1994, LB 988, § 25;   Laws 1995, LB 739, § 2;   Laws 1997, LB 424, § 1;  Laws 2000, LB 1167, § 42;  Laws 2001, LB 640, § 4.
