Answer:
It is estimated that 23 percent of all juvenile arrests are handled informally within the police department or referred to a community service agency.
Option: (B)
Explanation:
- The handling of juvenile criminals and their cases is looked at as a sensitive issue as juvenile criminals are more subject to good treatment that would help them rehabilitate rather than harsh punishments.
- The reason they are treated informally is that they need care and assistance to grow into better humans with growing age and lead a normal life later.
