Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“After receiving information concerning a delinquent act, the prosecutor instructs the intake officer to make a preliminary inquiry to determine if the interests of the public or the child require further action. IC 31-6-4-7(a). When the intake officer makes this determination, he sends a written copy of his inquiry report to the prosecutor. IC 31-6-4-7(e). The inquiry consists of ‘an informal investigation into the facts and circumstances reported to the court. Whenever practicable, it should include information on the child’s background, current status, and school performance.’ IC 31-6-4-7(b). Next, the prosecutor or other person representing the State decides whether to file a petition alleging delinquency. After examining the preliminary inquiry and considering probable cause, the court may approve the filing of the petition. IC 31-6-4-9 (Burns Code Ed.Repl.1987). Then, summons is issued for the child and his parents, guardian, custodian or guardian ad litem pursuant to IC 31 — 6— 7-4 (Burns Code Ed.Repl.1987). Strict compliance with these steps is required— ‘noncompliance with the procedural prerequisites precludes the assumption of jurisdiction over a juvenile.’ Taylor v. State (1982), Ind., 438 N.E.2d 275, 277 , cert. denied (1982), 459 U.S. 1149 , 103 S.Ct. 793 , 74 L.Ed.2d 998 .”
