Abstract

The juvenile court is a specialized court that has authority over certain cases involving the lives of children. The related child welfare and juvenile justice systems include agencies and policies that implement and regulate formal government-sanctioned interventions into the lives of system-involved youth. Iowa’s approach to service system funding is complex. Although the bulk of system services are funded through the state; county officials and other local funding sources can have a major impact on their communities’ service array and delivery. Judges and juvenile court officers (JCOs) determine eligibility and the type of service to be provided to delinquent youth; while judges and the Department of Human Services (DHS) determine eligibility and services for abused, neglected, and status offending youth.
