Abstract
A Simulation model using GPSS-V has been developed for determining flow rates through a juvenile court system linking four serial queues beginning with arrest, through a court review, court carry-order, and court probation. Observations of distributions of waiting times and processing times provide a basis for sensitivity analysis to consider trade-offs between court resources and gains in over-all flow time. The simulation runs with induced variations in court resources show the gains in over-all flow time expressed as reduced average waiting and processing times. The field data (1975) were collected from the juvenile court system of Morris County, New Jersey.
