Judging Juveniles: Prosecuting Adolescents in Adult and Juvenile Courts (New Perspectives in Crime, Deviance, and Law)

by Aaron Kupchik (Author)

Synopsis

By comparing how adolescents are prosecuted and punished in juvenile and criminal courts, this work finds that prosecuting adolescents in criminal court does not fit with out cultural understandings of youthfulness. It suggests that justice would be better served if adolescents were handled by the system designed to address their special needs.
