Paper
Law - General Law
Juvenile Justice – Putting it in Perspective . In Chapter 1 of
the text, our author talks about "putting it all into
perspective." After reading chapters 1 and 2 and reviewing
the video Young Kids, Hard Time (this video is recommended,
but not required), select one of the juveniles from your
reading, the movie, or you may speak from personal
experience and a particular juvenile in mind. Address the
three questions in the following quote from the video:
“In a world that demands justice when the unthinkable
becomes reality, there are no easy answers when that reality
involves minors. The United States has the highest
incarceration rate in the world and remains the only nation
that, in rare circumstances, will sentence its juveniles to life
without parole. Is it a solution? Does it work? Do we care?”
Juvenile Rights and the Courts . In Chapter 2 of the text, our
author summarizes five U.S. Supreme Court Cases:
a. Kent v. United States (1966)
b. re Gault (1967)
c. re Winship (1970)
d. McKeiver v. Pennsylvania (1971)
e. Breed v. Jones (1975)
These five cases show differences and similarities between

2. the adult and juvenile justice systems. Why is it necessary to
have different justice systems when looking at people who
commit crimes? How do these cases affect how the law is
applied to juveniles? Are there other differences between
the adult and juvenile justice systems that would indicate
juveniles have modified or more restricted rights when
dealing with the juvenile justice system?
Reality Meets the Theoretical . In Chapter 4 of the text, our
author talks about risk factors and protective factors. Select a
juvenile of your choice or one that we have already studied
(such as Greg Ousley, Colt Lundy, or Paul Gingerich from the
video in Week One, "Young Kids, Hard Time") and conduct a
search for additional information on their case, their trial,
and their situation. Give us a short history of the individual
selected, and then identify the risk factors and protective
factors you see with the juvenile. Evaluate these factors
through the lens of the lifecourse theory. Does the concept
of persistence or desistence come into play with this
juvenile?
Rights of Juveniles . Read either the case study at the
beginning of Chapter 5 about the “Juveniles at the Plaza” or
the case study about drug searches in schools. Both of these
cases deal with the legal rights of juveniles and
interpretations of law by the U.S. Supreme Court. Review the
Bill of Rights, which are the first 10 amendments to the U.S.
Constitution, and identify the rights addressed in one of the
case studies. How is the right adjusted to accommodate for
juveniles? Why do juveniles have a modified right compared
to adults? How do these modifications change the roles and
priorities of police when dealing with juveniles? Should social
justice concepts of dealing with juveniles take precedence

3. over criminal justice?
Statistical Analysis Presentation . Present a PowerPoint slide
presentation or a written report (you do not have to do both)
depicting your analysis of historical juvenile crime data for a
specific category of crime, or criminal issue. As an alternative
to PowerPoint, you can use one of the presentation
applications listed here, or one approved by your instructor:
MoveNote, VoiceThread, Prezi, or Google Present. Select one
component of the criminal justice system (e.g., law
enforcement, courts, or corrections) to focus your research.
The data and charts you develop may be used in your Final
Paper. You will:
a. Present national juvenile data and trends based on the FBI
- Uniform Crime Reports and the Bureau of Justice Statistics –
Crime Type, or other comparable nationally recognized data
bases, such as the U.S. Department of Education data on
campus crime. Make sure you standardize your data - usually
1:1000; 1:10,000; or 1: 100,000 and incorporate the scale in a
key for each chart.
b. Present local data from a city, county, or state for three
comparable locations in size from three different regions of
the country (e.g., Indianapolis, Austin, and San Francisco).
This information should be found on official government
websites.
c. Obtain data on at least three demographics such as: crime,
education levels, gender, ethnicity, race, sexuality, education,
or socio-economic data where available.
d. Develop questions you would like to address based on the
data you retrieved? (Note you do not have to answer these
questions for this assignment.) What juvenile delinquency
programs or initiatives are available to potentially address

4. the crime or criminal justice issue?
PowerPoint Presentation must be 10 slides and graphically
display the statistical data developed for three comparable
cities, counties, or states. Your presentation must
incorporate national statistics for comparison. Your
assessment may be in bullet or paragraph format and will be
provided in the notes section of the presentation.
The Written Report must be five pages and graphically
display the statistical data developed for three comparable
cities, counties, or states. It must incorporate national
statistics for comparison. Your assessment may be in bullet
or paragraph format below the graphic display.
Your paper or presentation must include a cover slide/title
page and reference slide/reference page in APA format. You
must use at least three scholarly resources from the Ashford
University Library, other than the textbook, to support your
claims. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on
the reference page. For information regarding APA, including
samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center,
located within the Learning Resources tab on the left
navigation toolbar, in your online course.
The Role of Juvenile Courts . The separation of the juvenile
court from the adult court for hearing juvenile delinquency
cases is a major social justice statement. The textbook lays
out five critical thinking questions at the end of Chapter 6.
Select one for your initial post to the discussion:
a. Should the philosophy of the juvenile court system be
rehabilitative or punitive? Defend your position.
b. Has Child Protective Services “run its course” like some
critics suggest? Or should it be revamped? How would you
revamp such a service?

5. c. Teen courts have become a popular option for diverting
youth. Is there a downside in involving the youth’s peers in
the process? Support your case.
d. Although most states have retained their transfer laws, the
rate of transfers to adult court has remained stable. Why do
you think this is the case?
e. Do you agree with the U.S. Supreme Court in regards to
the Roper v. Simmons and Miller v. Alabama cases? Why are
or why not?
The Changing Role of Probation . The author of the textbook
lays out three critical thinking questions at the end of
Chapter 7 that examine issues surroundi...
