Prosecuting Juveniles in Adult Court
|
|
|
Fear of juvenile crime in the United States has reversed the long-accepted practice of treating young offenders in special juvenile courts. Thousands of children annually are now being transferred "automatically," without judicial review, from juvenile court jurisdiction to adult criminal court and into adult corrections. These transfers place children into a court setting in which they are at a disadvantage at every stage of the process. Children who are incarcerated in adult facilities are at great risk. Those who are convicted but not imprisoned may still suffer long lasting negative consequences.
