                What Are the Benefits of Teen Court?
                                                         
                                                       
                                     For the Defendant

·      Juveniles brought before teen court and successfully complete sanctions will have no legal
       record for the offense
·      Defendants learn to accept responsibility for their actions, learn good citizenship and
        receive assistance through referrals to community resources through their sanctions
·      Long term behavioral changes are promoted which leads to enhanced public safety
·      Negative labeling is reduced and the risk of recidivism is reduced

                                                    For Teen Court Volunteers
·      Youth interested in careers in law, criminal justice, law enforcement, etc., can be educated
        about the American system of justice
·      Students are empowered to take an active role in addressing crime in their community
·      Teen Court builds competencies among youth through training to handle various courtroom
        roles and improves communication and problem solving skills
·      Offers an opportunity for students to fulfill community service requirements for school

                                                            For the Community
·      Reduces crimes committed by middle and high school students in local community
·      Strengthens the family unit through community service referrals
·      Reduces intake of counselors, juvenile court and district court so they can focus on more
       serious young offenders
·      Promotes community service and restitution as a means of restorative justice for the victim
        and the community
·      Promotes community collaboration by involving community agencies and volunteers
·      Reflects a positive collaboration of school, law enforcement and the community
