A juvenile detention hearing must occur within how many hours of detention?

The correct answer is: 40

A juvenile detention hearing must occur within 40 hours of the juvenile's detention. This requirement ensures that juveniles are afforded their rights and are not subjected to extended periods of isolation without a legal review of the circumstances surrounding their detention. The timeframe is established to ensure that the legal system addresses the case promptly, balancing public safety concerns and the rights of the juvenile. The time frame allows for a swift response to potential issues related to the detention's legality. It highlights the justice system's commitment to treating juveniles with an emphasis on rehabilitation and due process, which is crucial in maintaining the integrity of juvenile justice. The other time frames provided do not reflect this legal standard, as they either extend beyond the required period or fall short of ensuring prompt judicial oversight.
