It is a proceeding before a court or other decision-making body or officer, such as a government agency or a legislative committee.

In many countries, truancy is criminalized by law as either a criminal or a civil offense, and authorities can prosecute truant students ( under the age of 18), their parents, or both. Some countries, like Canada or Australia, reserve fines for truant minors and allow for their detainment (but not arrest) while skipping school. In Russia, Germany and some parts of the U.S. police officers even have the power to handcuff and arrest truant minors on the streets during ...
