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.
