- Abstract:
The article presents a report from the U.S. Congressional Research Service on Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act (JDA). Topics discussed include referring the juvenile to state authorities, initiating federal delinquency proceedings, or petitioning the federal court for trial as an adult in serious cases. The JDA generally favors state proceedings, but federal involvement may occur in cases where state jurisdiction is unavailable or inadequate.
