program is available.
a least restrictive alternative
b furlnefing process
c punitive aversion
d differential sanctioning

Explanation:

The "least restrictive alternative" policy emphasizes using the least restrictive (like community - based) option for noncriminal youth instead of secure institutions. The "funneling process" is about directing youth through the justice system, "punitive aversion" focuses on punishment - based deterrence, and "differential sanctioning" is about varying sanctions. So the correct option is A.

A. least restrictive alternative
