Children Should Not Be Punished As Adults : A 4
page
paper which argues that children, or young adults, should not be
treated as adults in relationship to the legal system and law
regarding punishment. Children are children and regardless of
their crime, they are not mature enough to understand the real
consequences of their actions. One argument given relates to the
fact that the prison system will only further their life of crime,
and therefor has proven to ineffective in deterring crime. In
addition, an alternative is illustrated, whereby these violent
children can be sentenced to their own institution that is not part
of the average detention center, not part of the adult prison
system. Bibliography lists 2 sources. RAyacrime.wps Juvenile

Impact of Juvenile Detention Centers : In 10 pages
the
author discusses the impact of juvenile detention centers.
Although the extent of juvenile justice has changed in many
ways, one thing remains constant. That is what to do with
juvenile offenders. Juvenile detention centers play an important
role in the lives of young criminals. That role can be either a
positive one or a negative one. There are both pros and cons to
the impact of juvenile detention centers on youths. Although
some young people get a mere slap on the wrist for their
delinquent/criminal behavior, others can get the death penalty at
an early age in some states. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Juvenile Crime and The Sealed Record : A short, 3
page
argument about how the juvenile justice system is failing and
youthful offenders are not being deterred from committing more
crimes. The writer argues that a 15 year-old delinquent should
share many of the same penalties for committing an offense that
a 22 year-old delinquent would for committing the same
offense. Most important to the discussion is the idea that a
juvenile's record should not be "hidden" after they've reached
adulthood. Individual members of society should be able to
make judgments based on someone's entire record and then
determine whether or not crimes of their childhood are worthy
of special attention. No Bibliography. Juvycorr.wps
