    Bernburg conducted research into a group of children in both seventh and eighth grade. They recorded individual delinquency as well as the delinquency of their peers. They wanted to find out whether or not there was an actual connection between formal justice system intervention and consequent delinquency (Bernburg, 2006). He collected data through private interviews at different times throughout the study. He established different variables like race, gender, initial levels of delinquency, family impoverishment and substance abuse, and concluded “juvenile justice intervention is significantly associated with serious delinquency in a subsequent period” (Bernberg,…

    The first nation’s juvenile court was established in Cook County, Illinois. One of the first judge at the nation’s juvenile court, judge Julian Mack stated the goal for the early juvenile court would be that “The child… be made to know that he is face to face with the power of the state, and more emphatically, be made to feel that he is the object of its care and solicitude,” (Pa, Rt.). Although many people in the United States believe that juveniles should not be tried as adults it is more appropriate to teach juveniles a lesson because no one knows what their instincts are, and it can be a threat to society because they will always have that negative mentality in mind. What solutions are there to these situations, or can there be any resolution…

    Adult state jails serve to contain, punish, and separate potentially dangerous criminals from society, however juvenile state jails set out to rehabilitate our troubled youth. The government understands the differences between the brains of a fully grown adult and the brains of our youth community, therefore rather than lock away and forget about the youth, as we do with adults in state jails or prisons, the government invests in the rehabilitation of our youth through programs like the D.M.C. or the Disproportionate Minority Confinement. Youth state jails, controlled under the J.J.D.P. or Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention, serve as a means of rehabilitation for the troubled youth. Shay Bilchik, the administrator of the Juvenile Justice…

I have done research and found that adolescents that end up in the juvenile detention facility usually have outrage issues academic challenges or a learning disability. We would think that when these adolescence enter Juvenile Justice System, we would think that the education is the same as in their school or even better to improve their behaviors, but they actually don't. The adolescents that end up in the in detention facility actually do worse because these detention centers don't have the right teaching techniques and don't really spend time with these kids with certain disabilities.

    From a written viewpoint, the idea of having a different legitimate structure for juvenile guilty parties is moderately new. All through history, children as young as 7 years of age who were blamed for crimes were detained with adult offenders. In the mid nineteenth century, the thought of changing youth guilty parties flourished in the United States. The House of Refuge in New York, which opened in 1824, was the main juvenile place of change in the United States (). This was the primary attempt to achieve something to be able to house juvenile guilty parties in a different office and different States.…
