    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,…

    Juvenile delinquency was a national topic of discussion in the 1950’s. A movement of censorship swept through as a result of parents fearing Rock ‘n’ Roll’s challenge to traditional values and abstinence. The campaign was successful in making artists and producers of Rock ‘n’ Roll more reserved in the music they made. In doing so, they failed to damage the industry as a whole. The toned down nature of songs and performers encouraged Rock ‘n’ Roll’s acceptance to a broader audience.…

    Crimes are typically committed by those who can be considered as an adult and know what they are doing at the moment. The result of the crime leads the criminals to having the death penalty or some other kind of punishment. However, once an adolescent commits a severe crime as an adult would, the ruling becomes difficult to decide upon. As a child commits a crime of any level, that child should not be tried as an adult but rather as a juvenile. Even though the juvenile commits such heinous act, others should know that children cannot function their brain properly just yet.…

    The utmost significant youthful offender case was Roper v. Simmons. The basis for this statement is for the reason that prior to this incident, the United States of America, which allegedly was or is the most compassionate country that defends human rights, was the only Westernized nation that still had the death penalty for young offenders. The U.S. continued this death penalty procedure in spite of all the technical proof that they had on the subject of how juveniles are not comparable to fully-grown criminals because of their immature minds, which makes them do something on impulse short of thinking of the possible costs of their activities. As a result, the United States of America was comparable to other countries such as Iran or other countries that it branded as ethically broke in concern to executing youthful offenders before this judgement. The United States was in fact still delivering out death punishments for youthful offenders in the twenty first century.…

    If a juvenile committed a crime do you think they should spent their childhood and adulthood in prison for life?The Supreme court ruled that juveniles who commit crimes should not be sentenced to life in prison because it violates the 8th amendment. However some judges strongly disagree that juveniles who commit heinous crimes should always be punished with a sentence of life in prison. From my point of view juveniles who commit crimes should be accountable for their crimes but they shouldn’t get life in prison. Firstly, I disagree because most juveniles are at a young age and their brain is not fully developed.…

    Several juvenile defenders will argue that not all minors have a reason to commit a crime. They can argue that in Jenkins 's article, "On Punishment and Teen Killers," she mentions that a teenager murdered her pregnant sister and her husband for the "thrill to kill," as Jenkins describes it (Jenkins 91). They will argue that adults dont murder for the "thrill to kill," and that some juveniles do it without targeting anyone specifically. They might not have a reason to why they committed a crime, but they murder because they have the available resources. However, some adults are actually capable of murdering in large amounts with no reason.…

    The article On Punishment and Teen Killers by Jennifer Bishop Jenkins speaks about how we here in the United States although we do give teenage murderers very big sentences that make them spend the rest of their life in prison we still respect their human rights. We do not imprison children nor torture and hurt the offenders, we simply are not letting their crimes go in vain. The authors purpose is to let us know that all though many people believe that teenagers who commit crimes should have a smaller sentence because of the way and the time it takes for their minds to develop. In fact she even states the following, "If brain development were the reason, then teens would kill at roughly the same rates all over the world. They do not.…

    Re-arrests and re-incarceration of a juvenile after they have already proceeded through the systems is known as recidivism, repeating of criminal behavior. Although there is no national recidivism rate for juveniles because the criteria and information of juvenile justice systems vary throughout the world, Florida, New York, and Virginia conducted a 12 month follow up. The state concluded juveniles had a re-arrest rate at 55 percent, but the re-incarceration/re-confinement rate of the states where all low ranging from 12 to 24 percent (Snyder, 2006). The conclusion of the study shows that recidivism in the juvenile system occurs, but because of the low re-incarceration rate being 12 to 24 percent, the juveniles are being sentenced in other type of confinement systems. These confinement systems could range from probation, parole, effective/ineffective programs, or any facilitates that houses juveniles, except for the prison system (Synder,…
