    The United Stated of America is the most ethnically diverse nation in the world. We have experienced advances in technology, economic prosperity, and acceptance of others.

During the teenage phase, one is struggling to simultaneously balance out school, relationships, home life, hormonal changes, and possibly even work. In this time of his life, the teenager is beginning to embark on a mission to seek himself out; he wants to solve the mysteries of who he wants to be, what he wants to do, and where he wants to go.

These include the problems minority children who grow up in poverty, join the gangs, break laws and end up in prison. Basing his book on a three year study of minority youths who have been in juvenile facilities, watched their friends and family go through the same, Rio seeks to gain a comprehensive insight into the lives of these youth. Through this study Rios finds that the root of this problem is that institutions in society tasked with the responsibility of getting young people from a life of crime and into productivity use the same methods for which they should curtail in the youths for instance…

    A number of the juveniles who enter adolescent justice with outrage issues, learning inabilities, and scholarly difficulties get practically no help for those issues, and thus fall behind in school. “Way too many kids enter juvenile-justice systems, they don’t do particularly well from an education standpoint while they’re there, and way too few kids make successful transitions out” (McGuire, 2014). Racial disparities has also been a challenge for the juvenile justice system. An unbalanced number of the understudies are male and individuals from minority groups. In 2010, 66% of the youngsters in authority in the United States were adolescents of color: 41 percent African-American and 22 percent Hispanic.…
