(705 ILCS 405/5-801)
Sec. 5-801.
Legislative declaration.
The General Assembly finds that a substantial and disproportionate amount of
serious crime is committed by a relatively small number of juvenile offenders.
Part 8 of this Article addresses these juvenile offenders and, in all
proceedings under Sections 5-805, 5-810, and 5-815, the community's right
to be protected shall be the most important purpose of the proceedings.
