Juvenile Justice System: Issues, Challenges, and Trends
The juvenile justice system changes as much and as often as the adult criminal justice system does. In relation to the juvenile justice system, the correctional system is much like a pendulum, swinging between harsher punishments for offenders and intensified rehabilitation and treatment. These fluctuations in the juvenile justice system often reflect the issues, challenges, and trends that are prevalent at any given time. The juvenile crimes that increase across society influence the approaches taken to treat young offenders.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapter 13 in your course text, Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction, paying attention to juvenile justice's history and evolution, how and why it developed, and why it is where it is today. Consider the agencies, processes, and problems of the juvenile justice system as you review.
Conduct an Internet search ("juvenile justice" or "juvenile justice system") looking for issues, challenges, and trends related to the juvenile justice system.
Based on the information in Chapter 13 of your text and from your Internet search, think about current and potential issues, challenges and trends related to the juvenile justice system and how they might impact its future.
Consider what issues, challenges, or trends you would change as member of the juvenile justice system.
With these thoughts in mind:
Brief description of two issues, challenges, or trends related to the juvenile justice system. Explain how they may impact the juvenile justice in the future. Be specific. Finally, post your thoughts on at least one change you would make to the juvenile justice system as a professional within the system (police officer, judge, lawyer, probation officer, etc). Be specific and use examples to support your position.
