The only difference being, that Juvenile Courts are geared and set up to present a less harsh (some would say a less 'realistic') view of the realities of the minor's situation, This is done purposely because of the offender's age and the theory of "not wanting to 'harden' them."

These steps in the court process may be called by different names (kind and gentler) in different places but the same basic steps will always apply regardless of jurisdiction.
