A court may issue an order for _______ from juveniles directed against a child to protect a victim of the child's conduct who, because of the victim's participation in the juvenile justice system, risks further harm from the child.

• A. Supervision
• B. Restitution
• C. Detention
• D. Protection

Answer: (D)

The main idea being tested is the court’s ability to safeguard a victim involved in juvenile proceedings by ordering protective measures. A protective order can be issued to keep the juvenile away from or restrict contact with the child victim, especially when the victim’s participation in the juvenile justice process makes them vulnerable to further harm. This kind of order directly aims to prevent ongoing or renewed harm to the victim.

Restitution, while important for compensating the victim, does not shield the victim from the juvenile’s actions. Supervision refers to monitoring the juvenile’s behavior and compliance with court conditions, not specifically protecting a victim. Detention involves confinement of the juvenile and is intended for accountability or safety, not specifically to protect a victim from the juvenile. Therefore, the option that best fits is protection.
