I have two questions about the novel The 100 by Kass Morgan. My first question is why does Clarke hate Wells? One of the reasons is that she believes that he is responsible for her parent’s deaths.

    Analysis of Media Representations of Juvenile Delinquency or Juvenile Justice System In the article Trayvon and the Myth of the ‘Juvenile Superpredator’, Steve Drizin discusses the case of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman in relation to the myth of the juvenile superpredator coined by John Dilulio. As we discussed in class, while this supposed new breed of criminals never surfaced, the myth that they would has changed how society sees certain adolescents. Drizin speaks on the fact that by 2001, the Surgeon General of the United States stated there was no evidence of these superpredators. However, George Zimmerman would have been in his mid-teens during the height of the myth and therefore at least had heard of it.…

    Many states passed legal reforms designed to get tougher on juvenile crim in the 1980’s. One of the reforms was the revision of transfer laws to expand the types of offenses and offenders eligible for transfer from juvenile court to adult court for trial and sentencing. These lowered the minimum age for transfer , increased the number of transfer-elijinle offenses, and reduced judicial discretion in transfer decision making. Sentencing juvenile delinquents is not a very good thing for many things. Juveniles are children under the age of 18.…

    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.…

    Question #2: Summarize at least three landmark cases made by the US Supreme Court and discuss their impact on the Juvenile Justice system. The practices of early America resulted in harsher punishments for juveniles than adults who may have committed the same crime. By the nineteenth century, these practices began to change through campaigns advocating rights for children, as they were becoming aware that children might not be as responsible for their crimes as adults, like previously believed. This eventually led to the nation’s first juvenile court that was established in Cook County, Chicago in 1899. Since then, there have been many court decisions that have assisted with the way the juvenile justice system practices today.…

    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.…

    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…

    Growing up I binge watched crime shows, NCIS, Criminal Minds, and Lockdown, you name it I watched it. My interest was always peaked when the shows involved younger people. Somehow this felt more relatable, even though I had never committed a crime and didn’t plan on doing so. It seems that every time a Juvenile commits a crime it is brought to our attention. This got me thinking, is there a level of severity a crime has to reach in order for a juvenile to be tried as an adult.…

    There have been many opinions on juveniles being convicted as adults on the crimes they have committed. When it comes to some of these harsh crimes, who could not punish the individual to the fullest? It does not matter how old a person is because everyone knows the difference between right and wrong. If someone is raised differently and believes it is okay to murder another human, than they cannot just change their mindset. An individual that makes and adult decision should have the same consequences.…

    “Old enough to do the crime, old enough to do the time,” Not only is this a catchy phrase that is gaining popularity, but it also represents a departure from the purpose with which the juvenile justice system was originally created over one hundred years ago‒to protect and rehabilitate young offenders. In an ideal world, counseling and rehabilitation would be enough for juvenile criminals, but oftentimes for repeat or violent offenders, this is just not enough. In the majority of cases involving violent crimes juvenile offenders must face the consequences of their actions and be tried as adults. Violent crime rates among juvenile offenders are increasing. Juveniles now are more likely than ever before to be the perpetrators of serious and deadly…
