QUESTION #1: Topic 1: Juvenile Court System
The juvenile court system is different from the adult court system in several ways. The prosecution of adults is done dote to the ‘crimes’ committed by them, whereas the prosecution of juveniles is a result of ‘delinquent act’. As mentioned by Gross and Baron (2022), the juveniles are corrected in foster cares and given a chance to return to their clear state. The process of prosecution is more informal regarding them. On the other hand, the adults need to follow a more formal method of entering into the trial system by hiring an advocate.
I do not feel that the systems should be combined. Combining the system will not provide a chance to the juveniles to be corrected. Among the adult criminals, they will learn several new techniques of crime and will apply them in the community when released. Being vulnerable, they could be influenced by the adult criminals in the cell.
QUESTION #2: Topic 2: Juvenile Justice System
If I could change anything about the Juvenile Justice system, I would limit the number of children housed within the same facility and separate them from the adult offenders. This will help in providing a quality programme to the juveniles for their correction. According to Elliott, Buckley, Gottfredson, Hawkins and Tolan (2020), the juvenile justice programmes and practices must be improved with an improved approach to it. The quality of the programs will be enhanced when applied to limited groups of the juvenile and provide the expected outcome.
This change will make an improvement, as the adult offenders will not be able to influence the juveniles. The rate of suicide among the juveniles will reduce through the quality practices, which will rectify their thought process. The access to juvenile experts would increase, as limited number of juveniles will be dealt with at a time. Adolescent development could also be introduced.
QUESTION #3: The Juvenile Justice System
The juvenile justice system is a set of laws, policies, and the court dealing with the juvenile offenders below the age of 18 who has indulged in a delinquent act. As stated by Ame (2018), the juvenile justice system was introduced as a separate justice system for the children and youth, which helped to improve the psychiatric changes in the offenders. They are provided with treatments such as the non-adults under this justice system and often they act according to the neglect experienced by them.
A court order provided for the juveniles when they are placed under the supervision and control of the officers is known as probation. A certain standard is set to be met which will change the conduct of the juvenile at the end of the probation period. They are controlled and made to work accordingly for the betterment of their conduct. On the other hand, after care occurs when the juvenile is released in the community and his behaviour is monitored through supervision. If the juveniles are found to commit any crime during this period, they are returned to detention (Children, Youth and Families Department, 2022).
Probation and parole for the adult criminals is a process of releasing them into the community before the completion of their sentence period. They are supervised during parole to monitor them regarding committing further crime. On the other hand, regarding the juvenile, there is no paroling but aftercare. The juveniles are released for probation and aftercare where the school and other community services are included for their development and correction.
As supported by Schaefer and Little (2020), the probation and parole for the adults is the environmental model of correction where the offenders are released in the community within the environment to modify their thought process. This improves the psychiatric condition of the criminal, and they are often successful in returning to their clean state of life.
The community-based programs for the juveniles include the correction of their behaviour using the community resources, network supports, and therapy through education. Several programs such as educational support, substance abuse education, youth counselling, parent education, and treatment are provided in youth shelters. According to NeMoyer, Gale-Bentz, Goldstein and Pema Harvey (2020), the successful completion of these programs reduces the chance of recidivism and re-entry to the prosecution.
