The criminal justice system in the US operates as a network of three distinctive agencies, which include law enforcement, the court system and rehabilitation agency. The law enforcement is charged with the duty of capturing offenders and taking them to court, where the court process determines the course of action to be taken against the offenders. When the action involves sending these culprits to rehabilitation centers they are given different types of punishment depending on their offenses. However, the court has many duties beside judgment of offenders, such as the civil issues like traffic violations. Therefore, with all the duties ...

Everyone is acquainted to the notion of a teenager. In the American culture, there is the concept of a teenager, which determines the socio-demographic group of people aging from 13 to 20 years. This period of life is quite difficult for the teenagers as they are tempted by the desire to commit forbidden things and even break the law. The reasons for this may be numerous as the social group of teenagers is a complicated notion that demands special attention both from the parents and the state government.

Arguably, in the past decades researchers have established program modes and intervention strategies that will help in promoting social development, as well as reducing juvenile delinquent behaviors. These programs and strategies have various objectives and goals in several states. Preventing juvenile delinquent behaviors saves life of young people from being wasted, prevents adult crimes in the future, as well as reducing the burden of crime on society and the victim. Perhaps, it costs the city a lot of dollars to prosecute, arrest, treat and incarcerate juvenile offenders. Hence, the use of delinquency-prevention programs saves a lot of taxpayers’ money, which is ...

Executive Summary

This case study looks at the increasing numbers of as yet unsentenced (and therefore potentially either innocent or guilty of any offence) young people on remand in Queensland, where – in common with other states in Australia – “Efforts are primarily focused on the rehabilitation of young offenders so that even after the establishment of guilt, detention is seen as a last resort.”(Mazerolle & Sanderson, March 2008) (p.1). Because custodial remand brings young people formally into the justice system and into close contact with what Mazerolle & Sanderson refer to as “deviant peers” (p.1), it can increase the possibility of (re)offending, too. ...

Question one: What is the etiology of JIA?

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a common type of arthritis affecting children below the age of 17. The condition relates more to malfunctioning of the immune system that targets the lining of the synovial membrane found in the joints causing an inflammation and later damages the joints. Medical professionals and disease experts are yet to establish the etiology of JIA; however, the condition is highly linked to genes transfer. JIA is not a hereditary disease because it rarely affects more than one person in the family. Multiple genes play a significant role in the onset and manifestations of JIA. ...

In comparison to the 1980’s, juvenile delinquency has been on the rise throughout the 1990’s and 2000’s. Personality traits and psychological theories explain delinquent behaviour among the juveniles. Psychological issues such as mental illnesses, dysfunctional homes, and influential songs and videos could have triggered events that led Bale Dale Loukaitis to hold algebra students hostage at the Front Middle School. The Psychiatry and psychoanalytical approach together with general personality trait theories would help understand the underlying factors to Loukaitis’ violent behaviour. To counter delinquency psychodynamic – psychoanalytical theories and personality theories can help identify common delinquents’ characteristic ...

Focus Of Juvenile Justice

It is true that to some degree, a number of juvenile delinquents who are detained know and understand the severity of their crime or offenses. Instead of coming up with punishments, like that of the adult system, it is important that juveniles are given rehabilitation. This means that the focus should be on allowing the juvenile delinquent back in to society if the rehabilitation process proves to be successful.
Young juvenile delinquents still have their future ahead of them. If detained for their crimes, they will not be able to focus on their career, family, etc. This means that, ...
