Over the past five weeks, we've learned about the origins, history, and trends of juvenile corrections. We've also explored the punishment philosophies used by juvenile justice officials to justify sentencing options; the various secure, non-secure, and community-based placement options for delinquent youth; some of the treatment methods available to juvenile correctional officials; and several of the special issues facing youth and administrators within the secure detention environment.
