One of the major controversies in the criminal justice system involves the handling of juvenile offenders. The system allows juvenile records to be expunged after juveniles turn eighteen and focuses on their rehabilitation rather than punishment. However, some attempts have been made to get tougher on serious juvenile offenders, particularly the transfer of juveniles to adult courts.

Submission Details:
