In its well-meaning attempt to protect the rights of both juveniles and the victims of their crimes, the juvenile justice system has evolved into a maze of procedure and paperwork that even the most experienced caseworkers find daunting.

The entrance to the maze is at the state level where case processing often varies from community to community.

 Follow FAMCare by outlining and customizing a local series of decision points.

The first turn is at law enforcement where many juvenile offenders are diverted out of the justice system.

 Follow FAMCare out of law enforcement by customizing your software to record the alternative program or the secure lockup away from adult inmates.

The next turn is court intake which is generally the responsibility of the juvenile probation department or the prosecutor's office.

 Whether intake decides to dismiss the case, handle the matter informally, or request formal intervention by the juvenile court, your FAMCare software will make the adjustment.

The maze gets tricky if the juvenile is held in a secure detention facility during processing.

 Only FAMCare can be customized to record and report this variable. 

You may be lost forever when prosecutors decide to file the case in criminal court rather than juvenile court.

 FAMCare knows how to follow this entirely unexpected path.

Finding your way out of the maze begins to look impossible when the judge decides probation means residential placement, drug counseling, weekend confinement, and community or victim restitution.

 FAMCare is ready to change format, template, and timing to accommodate any of the judge's twists and turns. 

Just when you think you see the light at the end of the maze, your juvenile is ordered to a period of aftercare or parole.

Take a deep breath and integrate the necessary forms into your FAMCare master maze map.

Integrated and fully customizable FAMCare reporting software is the only reliable map through the complex maze of the modern juvenile justice system. Contact Global Vision Technologies for a demonstration that will change your professional life by giving you a renewed sense of command and control.
