    Conclusion: Overall, the current juvenile system is very much so causing strain and separation between juvenile delinquents and their parents (Gauthier et al., 2004; Taylor & McQuillan, 2014; Whelan, 2003), which is often times connected to high recidivism rates (More Services, 2012; Ryan et al., 2014; Trulson et al., 2005), as well as having an adverse effect on the youth’s potential for familial reunification (Amandoala, 2009; D’andrade & Huong, 2014; Dorsey et al., 2014; Garfinkel, 2010). Since there is much evidentiary support for parent involvement and support being a deterring factor for juveniles (Baer & Maschi, 2003; Church II et al., 2009; Fletcher et al., 2004; Garfinkel, 2010; Maschi et al., 2013; Varma, 2007; Whelan, 2003; Williams & Smalls, 2015; Wisconsin Juvenile Justice Practice Model, 2015), the current structure of the juvenile system calls for reforms to make it more inviting toward parents and their desired involvement in order to combat the issues of recidivism (More Services, 2012; Ryan et al., 2014; Trulson et al., 2005), and failed reunifications (Amandoala, 2009; D’andrade & Huong, 2014; Dorsey et al., 2014; Garfinkel, 2010). By reducing the amount of out of home placements that a youth has to endure during their lifetime, there will not only be a positive effect on recidivism rates (Ryan et al., 2014; Trulson et al., 2005), but it will also help reduce the amount of trauma and stress related incidents that arise from having to be removed from your…

    Intro: There is much criticism, as well as negative connotations, that currently exist within our society in regards to the juvenile justice system (Pierpoint, 2000; White, 2002), and most critics’ opinions have originated from the plethora of different individuals and agencies whom become involved in a delinquent’s life at any given time once they enter into the juvenile system (Pierpoint, 2000; White, 2002).
