If the JavaScript needs to be ready to go before the entire page loads, you put it between <head></head>. If the JavaScript needs to be available right before the user encounters something on the page, you can put it prior to the element in the <body></body> (although people hardly do that for code readability). If the JavaScript just does some enhancements or provides tracking information (it's not a necessity), you can put it right before </body>.
