Consistent use of detention for status offenders.

Explanation:

The Juvenile system is meant to make sure that delinquent children (under the age of 16) are corrected in a way that they are going to be to be rehabilitated back into the society. The juvenile court system is not the same as the normal criminal court because in the normal court system the focus is more on the crime of the individual and not on who the person is while the Juvenile court system is the opposite of that because it focuses more on child than the crime.

Since Tony is a first - time offender and his crime is non-violent he can be heard heard in front of his peers in a youth court. The Consistent use of detention for status offenders is not part of the component of comprehensive juvenile justice strategy.
