• Juvenile Justice Putting it in Perspective. In
  Chapter 1 of the text, our author talks about
  "putting it all into perspective." After reading
  chapters 1 and 2 and reviewing the video Young
  Kids, Hard Time (this video is recommended, but
  not required), select one of the juveniles from
  your reading, the movie, or you may speak from
  personal experience and a particular juvenile in
  mind. Address the three questions in the
  following quote from the video
• In a world that demands justice when the
  unthinkable becomes reality, there are no easy
  answers when that reality involves minors. The
  United States has the highest incarceration rate
  in the world and remains the only nation that, in
  rare circumstances, will sentence its juveniles
  to life without parole. Is it a solution? Does it
  work? Do we care?

  Courts

• Juvenile Rights and the Courts. In Chapter 2 of
  the text, our author summarizes five U.S. Supreme
  Court Cases
• a. Kent v. United States (1966)
• b. re Gault (1967)
• c. re Winship (1970)
• d. McKeiver v. Pennsylvania (1971)
• e. Breed v. Jones (1975)
• These five cases show differences and
  similarities between the adult and juvenile
  justice systems. Why is it necessary to have
  different justice systems when looking at people
  who commit crimes? How do these cases affect how
  the law is applied to juveniles? Are there other
  differences between the adult and juvenile
  justice systems that would indicate juveniles
  have modified or more restricted rights when
  dealing with the juvenile justice system?

• Reality Meets the Theoretical. In Chapter 4 of
  the text, our author talks about risk factors and
  protective factors. Select a juvenile of your
  choice or one that we have already studied (such
  as Greg Ousley, Colt Lundy, or Paul Gingerich
  from the video in Week One, "Young Kids, Hard
  Time") and conduct a search for additional
  information on their case, their trial, and their
  situation. Give us a short history of the
  individual selected, and then identify the risk
  factors and protective factors you see with the
  juvenile. Evaluate these factors through the lens
  of the lifecourse theory. Does the concept of
  persistence or desistence come into play with
  this juvenile?

• Rights of Juveniles. Read either the case study
  at the beginning of Chapter 5 about the
  Juveniles at the Plaza or the case study about
  drug searches in schools. Both of these cases
  deal with the legal rights of juveniles and
  interpretations of law by the U.S. Supreme Court.
  Review the Bill of Rights, which are the first 10
  amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and identify
  the rights addressed in one of the case studies.
  How is the right adjusted to accommodate for
  juveniles? Why do juveniles have a modified right
  compared to adults? How do these modifications
  change the roles and priorities of police when
  dealing with juveniles? Should social justice
  concepts of dealing with juveniles take
  precedence over criminal justice?

• The Role of Juvenile Courts. The separation of
  the juvenile court from the adult court for
  hearing juvenile delinquency cases is a major
  social justice statement. The textbook lays out
  five critical thinking questions at the end of
  Chapter 6. Select one for your initial post to
  the discussion
• a. Should the philosophy of the juvenile court
  system be rehabilitative or punitive? Defend your
  position.
• b. Has Child Protective Services run its course
  like some critics suggest? Or should it be
  revamped? How would you revamp such a service?
• c. Teen courts have become a popular option for
  diverting youth. Is there a downside in involving
  the youths peers in the process? Support your
  case.
• d. Although most states have retained their
  transfer laws, the rate of transfers to adult
  court has remained stable. Why do you think this
  is the case?
• e. Do you agree with the U.S. Supreme Court in
  regards to the Roper v. Simmons and Miller v.
  Alabama cases? Why are or why not?

• The Changing Role of Probation. The author of the
  textbook lays out three critical thinking
  questions at the end of Chapter 7 that examine
  issues surrounding probation and its role in
  addressing juvenile delinquency. Select one of
  the critical thinking questions for this
  discussion
• a. Probation is the workhorse of the juvenile
  justice system, but it often suffers from a
  negative image. That negative image emanates from
  critics who believe that probation is too lenient
  of a punishment. What are your views on
  probation? What other alternatives do you
  recommend?
• b. Do you think probation officers should act as
  a treatment counselor as suggested by the
  Effective Practices in Community Supervision
  (EPICS) model? Are there any disadvantages of
  having probation officers act in this role?
• c. Do you think that global positioning (GPS)
  devices are a reasonable option for monitoring
  juvenile delinquents? Do you think GPS devices
  violate their privacy rights? Why or why not?

• Goals of Juvenile Confinement. In the Final
  Paper, you must address the issue of treatment
  versus punishment. This discussion is designed to
  help everyone with this debate that shapes
  juvenile justice in every state. There are many
  thoughts that cross the spectrum, so this is your
  opportunity to discuss, with your peers, the
  benefits and challenges of a variety of juvenile
  justice, in-residence programs.
• There are four primary goals of confinement in
  the juvenile justice system retribution,
  deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation.
  Select two contrasting residential treatment
  programs (e.g., group homes, boot camps,
  wilderness camps, or secure correctional
  facilities) discussed in the text and show how
  they meet one or more of the primary goals of
  confinement. What characteristics of the
  juveniles should a judge take into account when
  assigning a correctional facility or treatment
  program? What should our measure of success be
  for these programs?

  you were writing a proposal to a city or state
  administrator to address one of the special
  populations identified in our text (e.g., early
  starters, juvenile gangs, or juvenile sex
  offenders) and explain why juveniles in the this
  category must be treated outside the normal
  juvenile delinquency programs. What are the
  benefits to this program in addressing the
  special population? What is the measure of
  effectiveness for these programs? Why will this
  program be effective countering the problem
  addressed?

• Competing for Limited Funding. In today's reality
  of shrinking budgets, states continue to look for
  money that is not being effectively spent. State
  legislatures want to ensure they are getting the
  most for their limited dollars. The legislature
  has requested you to present an overview of an
  effective juvenile justice alternative sentencing
  program that you are aware of from the text or
  your research, and explain why it is effective
  and why it should be funded. What is the intended
  population? What standard are you using to
  measure the effectiveness? Why do you think it is
  effective and worthy of continued funding?

• Focus of the Final Paper
• When looking at the relationship between social
  justice and juvenile justice, there are two over
  arching concepts when addressing juvenile
  delinquency - treatment and punishment. These two
  concepts have driven a cycle of changes in the
  juvenile justice system over the years. Your task
  is to support your premise that your state or
  city should either implement a philosophy of
  treatment or punishment for juvenile offenders
  for a specific crime or criminal justice issue
  identified in your paper.
• a. Explain the differences between the treatment
  and punishment concepts. Build the case for which
  one you believe has the stronger position based
  on your research and the crime or criminal
  justice issue you selected to study.
