A JUVENILE COURT IN BRITAIN

A Juvenile Court tries cases of juveniles under the age of seventeen. The rules of procedure in the Juvenile Court are basically the same as in the adult (взрослый) court.

A Juvenile Court consists of three magistrates, one of whom must be a woman. All of them should have an understanding (понимание) of children and their behaviour (поведение).

Under the Children and Young Persons Act (1933) a Juvenile Court must sit either in a different building, or a different room from that in which the adult court sits, or it must be held on a different day. This is important as juveniles should not feel (чувствовать) that they are «criminals».

The hearing before a Juvenile Court is less formal than in a Magistrates' Court. A parent or any relative may conduct the defence (защита). The court should examine the juvenile's medical history, home surroundings, school record, and any report of the local authority.
