The Juvenile Justice Unit
operates under the direction of the Wisconsin State Statute
938 (Juvenile Justice Code) and deals with children who are
delinquent, truant and uncontrollable. The legislative
intent of the Code is to promote a Juvenile Justice System
capable of dealing with the problems of juvenile
delinquency, a system which protects the community, imposes
accountability for violations of law and equips juvenile
offenders with competencies to live responsibly and
productively.
The Juvenile
Justice Unit consists of three juvenile intake workers, all
of whom are state licensed social workers, whose
responsibilities include reviewing all law enforcement and
truancy referrals, meets with the juvenile and his or her
parents and makes recommendations to the District Attorney
and court. Additionally, the unit has four ongoing
delinquency social workers who are also State licensed
social workers, whose responsibilities include following
cases for the term of the court supervision, revising orders
when necessary, placing children if the need arises,
sanctioning juveniles when they violate the terms of their
orders, and providing an array of other services necessary
in juvenile court orders.
