What is one of the factors that may justify the detention of a juvenile?

One factor that may justify the detention of a juvenile is if the child is an escapee from an institutional placement. This situation indicates a potential risk to public safety as well as a concern regarding the juvenile's adherence to authority and structure. Escaping from an institution suggests that the juvenile may not be compliant with the legal system or protective measures that have been put in place for their own welfare and the safety of others. Therefore, detaining such a juvenile would be seen as a necessary action to ensure their return to a safe environment and to prevent further incidents that could endanger themselves or others.

In contrast, being charged with a violation of a minor traffic law typically does not warrant detention, as it is not considered serious enough to justify such action. A record of voluntary attendance at court proceedings would suggest responsibility and compliance, which argues against the need for detention. Additionally, being currently enrolled in school indicates that the juvenile is engaged in a structured and supportive environment, which would also not justify detention.
