    In recent discussion of Juvenile Justice, a controversial issue has been whether juveniles should be tried as adults in adult courts for heinous crimes they have committed. On one hand, some argue that they should not be tried as adults and do not deserve harsh sentences but as children seeking help. On the other hand, however, others argue that those who commit such heinous crimes ought to be punished no matter the age. The juvenile court was created to handle juvenile offenders on the basis of their youth rather than their crimes. The purpose of juvenile court is treatment and guidance rather than punishment. Juveniles don't have the knowledgeable or moral capacity to understand the consequences of their actions; similarly, they lack the same capacity to be trial defendants. Juveniles today are more knowledgeable and cultured at a younger age; they understand the implications of violence and how violent weapons are used. It is irrational to argue that a juvenile, who sees the effect of violence around him in the news every day, does not understand what killing really is. The fact that “adolescent killers” know how to load and shoot a gun or use a knife to kill is an indicator that they understand exactly what they're doing.…

    Among those who work in the juvenile justice system there is much discussion on how to effectively determine the appropriate consequences and or treatment for their actions. There are those who believe in punishment that includes incarceration and boot camp and there are those who believe in treatment programs with the goal of rehabilitation. There are various treatment models in place that are designed to address the problems in a youth’s life that may contribute to the causes that influenced them to commit crime. An assessment of the resources that are in place for juvenile offenders will be addressed, especially those that are designed to assist youth offenders in rehabilitation and restoration. Also a study of those models that are designed with the goals that gives the juvenile offenders the tools that will afford them the opportunity for a productive reintegration into society.…

    Most states and the federal government have laws that expunge young offender’s criminal records of delinquency when a certain age is reached. The purpose behind most states and the federal government expunging juvenile records is to allow youth who has made bad decisions, and found guilty of their youthful transgressions to enter adulthood without the heavy stigmatic freight of a criminal record (Funk & Polsby, 1997). The fundamental philosophy for juvenile laws is that a juvenile delinquent should be considered and treated not as a criminal, but as a person requiring care, education and protection. Furthermore, in their eyes, juveniles are not thought of as bad people who should be punished, but as a individual who need help (Funk & Polsby,…

    Edwin Desamour was driving with his 3-year-old son in their Philadelphia neighborhood when the little boy looked up and said, “Daddy, look at the moon! I want to go there,” so his father did what many parents would: he bought his son books on science and space and encouraged him to believe that his dreams can come true. Edwin’s son has been blessed with a vastly different childhood than Edwin had. Edwin grew up poor in a violent neighborhood in Philadelphia, surrounded by drugs, guns, and rimes. At age sixteen he was convicted of homicide. The time he spent with his father as a teenager came when they were assigned to the same cellblock in prison. Edwin was caught up in dangerous surroundings he did not chose, and his violent actions as an adolescent resulted in terrible loss, but he matured in prison and was determined to earn parole so he could return to his old neighborhood and make a difference in the lives of other young men (Edelman 1). Juvenile justice refers to teenagers going to jails for committing crimes like stilling, killing or abusing someone or even a school fight. Well for me juvenile justice is wrong because every person deserves a second chance because nobody is perfect. Kids are able to change after their first mistake. My topics are about students that regularly show up in the courtroom who shouldn’t be there and youths being treated like adults are it right or wrong? And my last topic is about the courtrooms are they being racist or are they obeying the law.…

    Throughout history, rarely was there any emphasis on the special needs of juvenile offenders. Typically, adult and juvenile offenders who committed a crime were processed in a similar manner and were subject to similar punishments as the other. In the fifth century, it was determined that children of the fixed age of seven under certain conditions should be exempted from criminal…

    According to Clay Thompson article, “The Lost Boys: California is Trying Kids as Adults-and Locking Them Up for Life. No One Knows How Many”, on the project censored website,“ In California alone minors as young as 14 are being punished into the adult criminal justice system. As a result children face adult punishments sometimes as severe as life in prison” (Thompson). We have age limits on things because it is quite obvious that youth are not fully capable of making the right decisions. For one, the brains of adults and adolescents are not developed the same way. Nor does it help to give a harsher punishment to an adolescent because the court thinks that a lesson will be learned this way. If we are sending our youth directly into the adult system then thats a sign of us giving up on them, and as a community we are failing. Rather than sending off a child into the adult world we must give them a second chance.…

    In the United States we have two parallel systems that deal with individuals that commit crimes and or offenses against society. First we have the criminal justice system, a court which deals with adults who commit various crimes. Secondly, we have the juvenile justice system, a court designed especially for minors and is generally thought to help rehabilitate the offender. The salient difference between these two systems, as Mitcheal Ritter puts it, “is the use of distinct terminology to refer to their similar procedures. State and federal legislatures intended this terminological variation to avoid stigmatizing children as "criminals" and to dissociate the juvenile system from the criminal justice system” (Ritter 2010, 222).…

    About 20 percent of teens each day are tried as adults. Some teens don’t realize how heinous these crimes they commit are. Depending on the crime, if it’s bad they should get a harsh penalty. Juveniles should be tried as adults because they should pay for their actions, they are mature enough to understand what they did and if they choose to follow grownups and their crimes they should pay the same penalty.…

    Over the past years, scholars and courts have studied the recidivism of young offenders whom have been convicted as adults. As prosecutions of young offenders continue to increase within the adult court system, many argue whether programs are being used properly to reintroduce repeat offenders back into society. Loughran, put the juvenile process in perspective with his statement, “theoretical intent of broader transfer provisions was clear (sufficient retribution for serious criminal behavior, deterrence through strengthened sanctioning and penalties), there has been only limited definitive empirical evidence regarding the effects of the transfer on the future…
