    In the early part of our country’s history, certainly prior to the American Revolution, juvenile delinquency as we think of it today did not exist. That is, from the first days of the founding of the original colonies through the Revolutionary War, there was no such thing as delinquency. Perhaps the primary reasons for this were, first, that the colonies were fundamentally agricultural and children were expected to work along with their parents to survive (Oliver and Hilgenberg, 2006). Second, parents were responsible for the actions and behaviors of their children (Walker, 1998), consequently, most often misbehaving children were handled at home by their parents. Colonial law did, however, make punishable such offenses as running away, incorrigibility,…

    Many states passed legal reforms designed to get tougher on juvenile crim in the 1980’s. One of the reforms was the revision of transfer laws to expand the types of offenses and offenders eligible for transfer from juvenile court to adult court for trial and sentencing. These lowered the minimum age for transfer , increased the number of transfer-elijinle offenses, and reduced judicial discretion in transfer decision making. Sentencing juvenile delinquents is not a very good thing for many things. Juveniles are children under the age of 18.…

I was first amazed that the age to try someone as an adult in South Carolina in the 1940’s was over the age of fourteen.…

    Today, more youths are involved in gangs, murders, and assaults than history has shown. So, if these children are capable of committing adult crimes, shouldn’t they face adult consequences? It seems that the severity of juvenile crime has risen so much, that it is hard to distinct it from adult crimes. On the other hand, most adult offenders we find today, who commit murder or assault are not first time offenders. The unfortunate thing is that a survey given by the Pretrial Services Resource Center found that an astonishing number of juveniles in adult facilities were charged with nonviolent crimes (ABCNews.com: Juveniles in Adult Jails.…
