here is the textbook info: Schmalleger, F. (2011). Criminal justice
today: An introductory text for the 21st Century (11th ed.). Upper
Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall. ISBN: 1256297259 (CUSTOM) The
juvenile justice system covers a number of categories of children:
delinquent, undisciplined, dependent, neglected, abused, and status
offender. As a result, the law has sought to adapt the rights,
institutions, and treatment options available to an increasingly
diverse juvenile population – gangs, substance abuse, mental health
concerns, sexual orientation, cyber-stalking, cyber-bullying,
sexual-oriented texting, and school violence. Beginning with the
material conveyed in the assigned reading and presentation, select
two scholarly articles from the university criminal justice
databases, and integrate those resources to discuss the challenges
facing the juvenile justice system as it seeks to respond to a
perceived need to pursue the “adultification” of juvenile criminal
behavior. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a
Judeo-Christian viewpoint for treating juvenile criminals as
adults.
