In re John H

In In re John H. (1978) 21 Cal.3d 18, the court held that the circumstances in a particular case may well suggest the desirability of a Youth Authority commitment despite the availability of such alternative dispositions as placement in a county camp or ranch. The court pointed out that In re Aline D. (1975) stressed the importance of finding a probable benefit to the minor before a Youth Authority commitment can be upheld, and that "In the present case, such a finding was made and was included in the court's order." (P. 27.)
