Assignment:
1. One of the things I want to explore this term is the question of why there are separate topics of "Juvenile Justice" and a separate legal system for Juveniles and is the reasoning sound behind the separation from the adult system sound. Our legislature in its' infinite wisdom has created a separate legal system for juveniles. Does there need to be such a separate system, and why or why not?
2. What does our text tell us about the concept of "police discretion" and how does it impact juvenile crime statistics? What is your opinion of this idea? Is it present in the adult system?
