Course Overview

Police officers routinely encounter juveniles across both social services and law enforcement contexts. A comprehensive understanding of Massachusetts's Juvenile Justice System is essential for all law enforcement personnel, particularly because it operates under fundamentally different principles than the adult Criminal Justice System. Officers must recognize that juveniles retain their constitutional rights and in fact receive enhanced legal protections, especially regarding Miranda warnings and the arrest process itself. The 2025 Juvenile Law Guide is included with this course—a resource valued at $99.
