1. “to determine whether or not the interests of the child and the public would be best served by granting a waiver of jurisdiction to the criminal [adult] court. In making the determination, the court shall consider the following criteria: (a) The prior record and character of the child, his physical and mental maturity and his pattern of living; (b) The seriousness of the offense; (c) Whether the offense, even if less serious, is part of a repetitive pattern of offenses which would lead to a determination that the child may be beyond rehabilitation under existing juvenile programs and statutory procedures; (d) The relative suitability of programs and facilities available to the juvenile and criminal courts for the child; and (e)Whether it is in the best interests of the public welfare and the protection of the public security that the child stand trial as an adult offender.”
