Research the local Juvenile Justice authority. For local, I am referring to Harris County. As for the JJ authority, that would be the entity that handles all juvenile justice activity, and for Harris County, that will be the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department. A mistake many students make here is they use the Texas Juvenile Justice Department as the local authority when they should be using HCJPD. Provide a detailed overview of the department and its various functions. Again, be as detailed as you can. In the syllabus,I cover the length of an assignment; the expectation is you include what is needed to demonstrate your understanding and the effort you put into your research. Some people do extremely well in short concise answers, but that is generally the exception. I cannot imagine a thorough overview of HCJPD being provided in anything less than 2 full pages and that may be pushing it. In your response, include anything that you find interesting, may be surprised at
