Juvenile Offenders and the Juvenile Justice System

For the first Discussion this week, you examined how societal changes might influence today's juveniles and contribute to juvenile delinquency. Building on this, you now focus on how the current juvenile justice system must change to accommodate today's juvenile offenders. In doing so, consider such questions as: How will the juvenile justice system accommodate an increasingly diverse group of juvenile offenders? How will the juvenile justice system address juvenile offenders involved in gangs and gang violence? How will the juvenile justice system help offenders with drug addictions?

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review the assigned pages in Chapter 7 of the course text, Juvenile Delinquency. Focus on the proliferation of juvenile delinquency among females.

• Review Chapter 10 of the course text, Juvenile Delinquency , and focus on the proliferation of juvenile involvement in gangs.

• Reflect on your first Discussion from this week. Consider how societal changes might influence juveniles and contribute to juvenile delinquency. With these thoughts in mind, consider the unique characteristics of today's juvenile offenders as well as issues and considerations they might encounter.

• Review the assigned pages from Chapter 12 of the course text, Juvenile Delinquency. Focus on the current juvenile justice system, emerging approaches for addressing juvenile offenders, and trends for the future.

• Consider how the juvenile justice system must change to accommodate today's juvenile offenders.

With these thoughts in mind:
