Juvenile+Jusitce



In the United States of America there are thousands of crimes committed every day. Unfortunately many of these crimes are committed by young children under the age of 18. The juvenile justice system, although similar to the adult system, has a very different purpose. The goal of the juvenile system to help rehabilitate the offender, rather than punish them. The idea is that these kids can be saved and that it is up to us as a society to do everything we can to make sure they are. The question then becomes, what do you do with the most serious offenders? How should we handle children who commit the most heinous crimes such as murder and rape? These questions have long been debated and will continue to be for years to come.
