Can we do without JUvenile justice by Jeffrey A.butts
Abolish the juvenile court: youthfulness, criminal responsibility, and sentencing policy barry c. Feld
One of the arguments made for merging the juvenile justice system with the criminal justice system is that-at this point-regardless of terminology used, they are quite similar in terms of their orientation and how they deal with offenders.
1. Is the juvenile justice system really a "wholly-owned subsidiary"of the adult system (Feld, p. 73)? Why or why not?
2. Should the juvenile court be merged with the adult justice system? Discuss the reasons for/against your position on this question. Draw on the relevant readings from this module (e.g.,
Feld, Crippen, Dawson) to support your position.
