Image Level 1: Immediate Sanctions

Immediate sanctions are targeted toward less serious, non-chronic offenders. They are designed as early interventions that can hold youth accountable for their actions by sanctioning illegal behavior and securing needed services. Typical immediate sanctions include community service, restitution, curfew restrictions, informal supervision, and mandated involvement in short-term programs (i.e., shoplifter programs or substance abuse education). Immediate sanctions are frequently delivered in the context of diversion from formal court processing.
