1)  The answer should include the following points:
 The agreement is presented to the judge.
 If accepted by the judge, a predisposition is issued.
 If rejected by the judge, the adjudicatory hearing continues.

2)  FALSE

3)  The answer should include the following points:
 The first type, which is used less and less frequently in the United States, occurs at the same time as the adjudicatory hearing
 The second type of disposition hearing occurs following the adjudicatory hearing.
 The reason for separating the two hearings is to prevent judges from learning information that is prejudicial to the defendant.

4)  FALSE

5)  The answer should include the following points:
 The report contains background information on defendants that helps judges make individualized decisions.
 It contains a description of the referral incident, the youth's past conduct, prior contacts with the police and courts, and family environment and relationships.
 Information on the youth's employment history, school records, interests, and activities is also collected.
 If police officers have information on special problems of the youth or if special needs of the youth are discovered, these are included in the report.
 It draws up a plan for what the youth needs and how he or she can be best helped.

6)  TRUE
