In this module, you identified those processes that are the same for both juveniles and adults or those processes that are different for both juveniles and adults. In this written assignment, you will: 

1. Select five (5) processes or components listed below and clearly compare and contrast their treatments in the juvenile and adult courts. (At least one full paragraph per comparison).
   • Plea Bargaining
   • Appeals
   • Rehabilitation Efforts
   • Diversion Programs

   • Due Process
2. Do you feel there are enough significant differences between the two systems to justify having a separate juvenile system? Justify your rationale.
