Source #1 Statistic Page #1 "The juvenile arrest rate for all offenses reached its highest level in the last two decades in 1996, and then declined 65% by 2014." Juvenile arrest rate have declined by 65% |

|
|
Source #2 Statistic Page #1 "In 2014, law enforcement agencies in the U.S made an estimated 1 million arrests of persons under age 18" In 2014, police arrested roughly 1 million juvenile offenders |

Source #3 Examples Page #1 "A 14-year-old boy was arrested after he threw a rock at police during a political rally in New Mexico, Prosecutors stated that the boy, who was charged with two felonies would be tried as an adult." A teenage boy is being charged as an adult for throwing a rock at a police officer during a rally |
This can be used in my essay to show the irrational judgement of charging juveniles as adults. In this case, the boy simply threw a rock. It's not like he went on a rampage and took the lives of people. |

Source #4 Juvenile Courts Page #1 "The court intake officer then evaluates the case and decides whether it should be ended without action, whether the child should be referred to a counseling agency, or whether the case should be heard in juvenile court." The court intake officer decides the punishment of the offender |
This fact shows the procedure of what a juvenile offender may experience. It can be used in my essay to further back up my argument. |

Source #5 Examples Page #1
Rebecca Sedwick jumped to her death from a three story building after being verbally, physically, and cyber bullied by two girls from school. "The horrific tragedy is especially cruel given the the teenage girls' bragging and lack of remorse in the bullying that resulted in the victim's death." |
Given the girls reaction, it can be seen that she doesn't care about the victim. Her mind is plagued due to her nefarious actions that took the life away of a girl. This can be used in my essay to argue for why juvenile offenders should be tried as adults. |
|

Source #6 Examples Page #1 A boy murdered his father and younger brother "Simpson cited previous case law that found it constitutional to automatically send juvenile defendants into adult court[s]" |
This can be used in my essay to back up the fact that juveniles who have committed treacherous acts such as murder should be tried as adults. |
|
|
Source #7 Examples Page #1 Derrys Sanders murdered an 18 year old as he tried to rob the victim of his bike.
"Police charged Sanders, then 14, as an adult under Pennsylvania law, which requires that anyone accused of homicide initially face prosecution as an adult." |
This example simple backs up my argument that juvenile delinquents should be tried as adults. Due to Pennsylvania's law, the defendant is automatically charged as an adult.

Source #8 Examples Page #1 "Overall, our results indicate that gender and trait aggressiveness both affect aggression among children who play violent games. Violence is ubiquitous in our society |
I can connect this with John Locke's assertion of human being born with a blank slate. |
|
|
Source #9 Examples Page #1 "Some theories suggest that socialization is achieved only through imitation or through a process of rewards and punishments." The minds of children develop socialization through imitation of what they experience |
This can be connected to John Locke once again, and the uprising of violent video games which could contribute to juvenile delinquency.
|
|
|
Source #10 Examples Page #1 "Video game addicts who have committed murders or other crimes have told investigators that their actions were prompted at least in part by the violence that was very much a part of their game-play experiences." Violence in video games and media have an affect on children. |
This can also be connected to the idea of a blank slate and that through the experiences of violent video games that contribute to one's wrong doings. |
|
|
Source #11 Examples Page #1 "Teenagers who play violent video games obsessively become socially isolated and form unhealthy social bonds with people their own age or develop the skills necessary to communicate with others." Games take away the essential essence of social contact which puts a detriment on them. |
I can include this fact with the example of how video games play a part in a juvenile offender's motive when committing a crime.
