Juveniles

As the text points out, the whole idea of a "juvenile justice system” is to avoid stigmatizing juveniles while rehabilitating them. Yet we are trying juveniles as adults in greater numbers than ever before.

But in many states, a punishment-based model not only punishes, but seems to want to punish juveniles even more harshly by sentencing them as adults (rather than making an affirmative effort to save them from a permanent life of crime). Based on this information, answer ONE of the following discussion questions:

  • In your opinion, do you believe juveniles should be tried as adults? Why or why not?
  • If you were revising the juvenile justice system, what would be the first modification you would make and why?
