Indiana Youth Services Association, through its member agencies, provides support to Hoosier youth and families with the intention of  diverting children away from the  judicial system.  We recognize however, that there are times when Hoosier youth become engaged in the juvenile justice system.  With this in mind, we have provided a collection of basic Indiana law applicable to juveniles.  It is not exhaustive.
