The purpose of these additional questions are also to describe and better understand in-court restraining for juvenile defendants in Virginia courts.
How this Information Will be Used
This survey information will be used to understand how different jurisdictions approach juvenile restraint. This information, in additional to state approaches will potentially be used to make recommendations to Virginia’s legislators and juvenile justice system policy makers regarding areas in need of further study and/or improvement.
Anonymity
Survey responses will be linked to your position within your jurisdiction (i.e. judge, prosecutor, public defender/defense attorney, sheriff/deputy), but NOT to your name, jurisdiction or your responses to the previous set of questions.
Participation
Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and nothing good or bad will happen as a result of participation. The survey has 4 to 16 questions and should take between 3 and 10 minutes to complete; you can stop the survey at any time. Clicking the box below constitutes consent to participate. You may print out a copy of this page for your records.
