The job I would like to see the responsibilities of would be the Juvenile Probation Officer. I think they have a really fun and exciting day, dealing with all the kids that have misbehaved. I would really like the job of just keeping care of kids, since the officers are adults and the kids are, you could say, violent and dishonest I believe it would make for an entertaining day. I have been in prison, not being arrested, of course, and it looks like it would be a cool place to work in. I’ve seen some shows and they have a lot of trouble with the kids they are taking care of, and I just want to see it with my own eyes, and ask some of the officers if it really is that dangerous. I appreciate that these officers teach them discipline and that

    Youth Justice And Reoffending Juveniles

    In 2014 the LNP Government introduced the Youth Justice and Other Legislations Amendment Act which made changes to the legislation surrounding juveniles aged between 10 and 16 years of age. These new amendments have been changed to improve juvenile justice and created a fairer option for minors.

    The Role Of Juveniles In Prisons

    Juveniles as young as 14 are being positioned in prisons with adults from minimum to maximum prisons. A minimum prison would house offenders who have committed a minor offense such as theft, while a maximum prison house felonies who have engaged in activities such as rape or murder. In 2005, the Supreme Court banned the death penalty ruling “people under 18 are immature, irresponsible, susceptible to peer-pressure and often capable of change (Scott, 2012).” Although, the court recognizes juveniles are immature, irresponsible, and susceptible to peer-pressure yet juveniles remain housed with adults. “For instance, several studies have reported a greater probability of recidivism for juveniles processed in the adult justice system compared with…

    Adjudication In Juvenile Justice

    Criminal procedure is the process of adjudication in law. Adjudication is the process by which a judge or jury reviews the evidence presented in a case to determine the verdict (Oleson, 2014). There are three types of variation when it comes to adjudication: heavy reliance on professional judges, mixed reliance, and heavy reliance on laypeople (Reichel, 2013). These variations basically summarize how the ultimate case decision is made. Under high reliance on professional judges, the judge is the ultimate decision maker of the case after hearing both sides argue their points.…

From Victorian execution to modern solitary confinement, the justice system has seen some pretty drastic reform. In 1948, juvenile detention facilities were added in to the criminal justice system.

    Becoming A Parole

    I’ve seen too many friends fall into the wrong path and make some awful life changing decisions. Before the end of my high school career I had witnessed individuals from groups around me participate in gang shoot outs, fights, distribution and usage of drugs. As I’ve seen my peers commit crimes and were introduced into the criminal system, I thought to myself that the negative effects brought by my peers has taken a substantial impact on our community. I questioned, if their own teachers and friends won't bother to help then who will? Troubled youth need a role model who can be strong willed to help them make a better future for themselves, search for a purpose in life, and won't give up on them like everybody else did.…
