From the Paper:

"One criticism regarding the use of the term "system" is that it implies a coordinated effort, with agreement on purposes. While there is a conspicuous lack of coordination in the juvenile justice system, for explanatory purposes, juvenile justice will be considered a system, albeit one where the individual components sometimes work at cross purposes, or at counter purposes."
