Write a 700- to 1,050-word journal entry from the perspective of
your selected juvenile offender. Address the following in your
assignment:• Describe the process the juvenile will follow after
arrest—from intake, through court, sentencing, and punishment or
rehabilitation from the perspective of the offender. Consider any
accommodation necessary for juveniles with special needs. The
process should be based on actual state laws and practices of your
state or a state with which you are familiar.• Include a brief corrections plan created in the mode most
appropriate for the level of offense, such as a recommendation memo
to Child Protective Services or the school principal for a status
offense, a letter to judge regarding sentencing for a non-violent
offense, a proposal for a community intervention strategy, or a
report to corrections for a violent offender.CASE STUDY ONE: COLLEEN M.Colleen M. is a 15-year-old Caucasian girl. She has lived in the
state for her entire life. Her father abandoned the family when she
was an infant and her mother is currently in a drug rehabilitation
facility. Colleen has been living on a farm with her aunt. Although
she has no prior contact with the law, she admits to having run
away from her aunt in the past, though she always returned on her
own.Colleen’s current trouble is centered on a neighbor’s dispute
about her dog. After the dog bit the neighbor, the neighbor
threatened and attempted to take the dog to animal control. When
the neighbor later found Colleen and the dog trespassing on her
property, the neighbor verbally threatened to “get” them both.
Apparently, the neighbor set fire to a scarecrow on her property to
emphasize her point.At this point, Colleen threw a nearby bucket of liquid on the
neighbor. The liquid was later determined to be a pesticide. The
pesticide burned the skin on contact and triggered an extreme
allergic reaction in the neighbor, resulting in her death. Colleen
was charged with involuntary manslaughter and was determined
delinquent by the court. Colleen claims that she was simply
attempting to douse the fire.Coincidentally, a few weeks prior, Colleen had been a passenger
of a motor home that had collided with a vehicle driven by the
neighbor’s sister. This accident resulted in the neighbor’s
sister’s death, though it was ruled an accidental homicide.
Witnesses report that Colleen took a pair of fancy shoes off the
feet of the corpse and immediately put them on her own feet.
Colleen defends her actions by claiming that an observer told her
to do this.At the time of her arrest, Colleen’s blood tested positive for
opiates. Colleen claims that while traveling with three homeless
men, they unknowingly stumbled upon a field of poppies, and that,
before they knew it, the intoxicating aroma caused her to pass out.
Colleen claims not to have a drug problem. Colleen states that all
she wants to do now is go home and that she misses her Aunt
Emily.
