@morainevalley
Feel free to follow along, ask any questions, & hopefully learn a thing or two about our Juvenile Justice system

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Students are asking how to contribute to this thread. It's not much different than in class. Reply with a comment, question, your insight!

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Before the establishment of the juvenile justice system, courts and judges treated juveniles as adults and, in many instances, juvenile offenders received the same punishment as adults

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
Historically, under common law doctrine, a juvenile age seven or older could receive the same punishment as an adult.

#MoraineValley #CRJ107
THINKING CHALLENGE: In your assessment, should young people be considered eligible to be treated the same as an adult?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Even today, there remains disagreement at what age an adolescent can and should know the difference between right and wrong.

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
THINKING CHALLENGE: In your assessment, what are some of the biggest challenges facing youth today?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
The focus on this class will be on the factors that contribute to the life of an adolescent, from womb to adulthood, and how the system has responded

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Do we exist in a youth-obsessed culture?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Do we exist in a celebrity-obsessed culture?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
When juveniles DO violate the law, it often captures the attention of the public and the media. It is often more difficult to understand the complexities of juvenile delinquency

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
THINKING CHALLENGE: What type of youth crimes are most worrisome to society today?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
The juvenile justice system was founded on the belief of parents patriae roughly translated as “state as parent.”

Meaning it is the role of the state to look out for the best interest of the child.

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
The state, acting through a juvenile court judge, can act in the role of parent for the juvenile when parents are deemed incapable or unwilling to control their children.

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
THINKING CHALLENGE: Should children who are in need of supervision be cared for in the same system as children who are delinquent?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
There are various categorizations of individuals who fall under the umbrella of #StatusOffenders

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Definitions matter in the Juvenile Justice System, as children have diverse and unique needs

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
THINKING CHALLENGE: Is it imperative to maintain distinct differences between the juvenile justice and adult justice system?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Currently, even the terms used in the juvenile system reflect an initial goal to provide guidance rather than strictly punitive

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Juvenile corrections may be the most pronounced in differences from the adult system

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
One of the strengths of studying juvenile delinquency is that we were all kids ... once!

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Is it really that easy to understand the mindset of a juvenile?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
THINKING CHALLENGE: What advice would you go back to give to your teenage self?

- Don't Care About What Others Think
- Do Well in School
- Stay out of trouble
- Other - In the comments ...

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
THINKING CHALLENGE: Now the big question, would your teenage self understand & follow your advice?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
It can be challenging to remove our "adult" lenses in making sense of adolescent & teenage behavior.

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Juvenile delinquency is any behavior that is prohibited by the juvenile law of a state

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
A key aspect of the juvenile system is diversion, a procedure by which a juvenile is removed from the juvenile justice process and provided with treatment services

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
A key element is intake, this is the procedure by which juvenile court staff decide whether to process the case further in court, handle the case informally, or dismiss the case

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
So is this kid just killing the #MilkCrateChallenge?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Requirements of informal handling may include:
~Victim restitution
~Community service
~Informal probation

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
The goal of differentiating juveniles is the underlying belief that juveniles have an innate capability for reform.

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
THINKING CHALLENGE: Are juveniles better candidates than adults for rehabilitation?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
THINKING CHALLENGE: Are juveniles more likely to learn from their mistakes, to change ways from a wayward path to a law abiding one?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Let's compare the JJS with the Adult system on some key levels: Overall, the juvenile system is focused on rehabilitation whereas the adult system is not.

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
The JJS is aims on risk factors for juveniles while the adult system puts more emphasis on deterrence.

If we can change negative pathways for JVs, we can keep them out of crime. For adults, the fear of punishment should be the key.

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
This semester, we will look at all the unique aspects of policing juveniles. Juvenile records are more closely protected than for individuals in the adult system

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
The juvenile courts also work quite differently than the adult system. The JV courts have wide discretion on what cases they take, while the adult system sees a lot more plea bargaining

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Juvenile corrections includes much more extensive community alternatives, keeping JVS out of incarceration. The adult system does not have the same ambition

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
THINKING CHALLENGE: At what age should juveniles be eligible to be housed with adults?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
We will take a look at how the juvenile justice system does mirrors the adult system in many ways

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
This offers some insight into the concepts we will be covering the next 16 weeks. What aspects of Juvenile Delinquency are you most interested in learning about?

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
Of the special topics in considerations of juvenile behavior, what topics are of the most interest?

Certainly add any other topics in the comments!

#MoraineValley #CRJ107 #IntroToJJS
