    Yes, I do. Juvenile gangs I think are more dangerous. They are more dangerous to me because it seem like they tend to get away with things like crime. Young adult are more violence than mature adult which is why it is scary. Juvenile tend to go through with their criminal act more than adult. The reason they go through with is because they are still young minded, and they want to join the gang. Knowing juvenile gang is rising in many states including North Carolina, it is alarmingly scary to me. I am very concern, and I hope we as society can do something about the situation.…

    The boot camp program is considered one of the long-term correctional facilities as an attempt to instill discipline in young offenders. The basic components of a boot camp program consist of a structured military style environment with high physical activities demands that lasts from 30 to 120 days. Boot camps are designed for offenders who have failed with lesser sanctions such as probation. Boot camps are generally for juveniles that include some type of work detail; most allocate more than half the day to educational and counseling activities. Additionally, most of the boot camp programs assign graduates to a period of intensive community supervision. I believe the halfway house is another form of correction intensive program that is just…

    Have YOU ever heard of Youth Court? The Niskayuna Youth Court is offered as an alternative to the young people who have committed a crime in our community, instead of the criminal justice system.

    “The advocates also said juveniles in adult facilities are more likely to commit suicide or be physically and sexually abused.” (Trying juveniles as Adults in NJ). If the juveniles commit suicide then they’d end up losing their lives. There's no way to get it back. That's why the guards take away their shoelaces and belts, so they would have nothing to use as a weapon against themselves or anyone else. If the juveniles were sexually abused, they’d probably not want to interact with other humans for a while. If a girl or a boy were to be sexually abused they would definitely be scarred. Children in adult prisons are 5 times as likely to be sexually assaulted, twice as likely to be beaten by staff, 50 percent more likely to be attacked with a weapon and 8 times as likely to commit suicide as children in juvenile facilities.The juveniles would hold that fear of being abused again in the future and not want to even be near their own family. If the juveniles would have to be charged as adults then they should be put in a cell individually, away from others. Especially if the juvenile is the one that would be the one to sexually abuse…

    Kids who commit serious crimes should not go scot-free. If society doesn't recognize them as adults until the age of 18, why do kids suddenly become responsible as an adult when they commit a crime? Children have as much business in a prison as they do a bar. Yet, twenty-three states have no minimum age. Two, Kansas and Vermont, can try 10 year old kids as adults.…

    Sentencing is an “imposition of a penalty on a person convicted of a crime” (Schmalleger, 2014). Generally, sentencing is the last thing that occurs when an offender charged with a crime and the trial has ended. During a trial, each side will argue their case in front of a jury (if it is a jury trial); at which time said jury would deliberate and return with a verdict. Once the verdict comes back to the court, a date is set for sentencing. According to our textbook, “most sentencing decisions are made by the judge” (Schmalleger, 2014), there have been exceptions to this rule when there is the possibility of a death sentence at which time the jury may be involved.…

In juvenile centers, the offenders are surrounded by youth their own age, creating a safer…
