Illinois authorized an act in 1899 ,Juvenile Court Act, which initiated the first juvenile court in the United States of America (Gale,151). It was based on three principles: juveniles are not fully developed mentally, they aren’t prepared to be held for their actions, and they have a better chance to reintegrate easier than adults. In 48 of the United States , If anyone younger than 18 and they commit a criminal act then they are considered a juvenile offender. With greater reason, states and countries are beginning to question the juvenile court's’ liability. The juvenile court system should overall be extinguished because it is too unrestricted and also inefficient in responding to the result of juvenile crimes and violence.
