Which term refers to a facility operated wholly or partly by the juvenile board that serves juveniles under juvenile court jurisdiction?

• A. Juvenile Welfare Center
• B. Juvenile Court Facility
• C. Juvenile Justice Facility
• D. Juvenile Detention Center

Answer: (C)

Facilities run by the juvenile board to serve youths under juvenile court jurisdiction are categorized as a Juvenile Justice Facility. This term is used to describe the broader set of places operated by the juvenile justice system where juveniles under court supervision are housed or receive services, including detention and related programs. It signals both who operates the facility (the juvenile board) and who it serves (youths under court jurisdiction). The other terms point to narrower or different roles: a welfare center focuses on social welfare services rather than court-supervised housing; a court facility refers to the courthouse itself; a detention center describes a specific secure holding site, not the full range of facilities under juvenile board operation.
