1 Kauffman, Gretel. "Massachusetts Justice System Wrestles with how to Define 'Adult'."

Christian Science Monitor, 07 Dec, 2017

The article main argument is to change the age to charge juvenile to 18-year-olds. Trying

to reform basically the law which would raise the age to 19 which means 18-year-olds would be

treated as juveniles for most crimes. The proposal spread to across country to raise the age to 18.

Which some studies suggest including teens in the juvenile system to lowers recidivism rates.

The push to raise the age will also change how we define adulthood, observers.With this article it

efforts is to reform the whole justice system because it would also affect the Adult justice

system.

This article is a very good reference because it makes me look at all the different points from

different states to push the proposal to raise the country age to 18. As well it makes my

argument stronger by given information based on cases along with facts.

Issues Researcher, ​https://sks.sirs.com​.

When kids get in trouble in school such as elementary it will be documented and giving to law

enforcements to keep track on them and put on their permitted record.A new state law is in place

to encourage local school boards to develop alternatives to suspending students, including

counseling, community service and mediation. That will be a start but when it happens

Lawmakers will have to keep their foot on people necks when it comes to holden this law.

With this article it's an important con to my argument to which i agree to an certain point.

Expression the fact they’ll help the problem that will be a starting point that will change future

behavior. This article also can give me key points to start off with. What made it more interesting

is it explains what also may be the problem is lack of parenting which i agree with.

3 "Justice for the Youngest Inmates."​ New York Times​, 21 Nov, 2017, pp.

The Supreme court have to repeat itself before the message gets through? With the

answer it seems to be one more time. As for the court it has been working toward the

right direction to protect those juveniles who has been facing the harshest punishments.
 3

With young people their constitutionally different from adults less in control of their

emotions and more able to change over time and should be punished differently.

This article will be helpful to use because of the explanation of why juvenile should be

trail differently. And the urge of argument of having the supreme court to repeat itself

about the harsh punishments.

4 Huffaker, Christopher. "In Many States, Black Juveniles End Up in Adult Court

in High Numbers." McClatchy Washington DC News Bureau, 25 Jun, 2017, SIRS Issues

Researcher, ​https://sks.sirs.com​.

Warren German was 16 years old in 2011 when he got charged for burglary, but with him

already having time in an juvenile residential program prosecutors decided to try him as

an adult. With the situation it started a research showing african american juveniles wind

up in adult court in disproportionate numbers. According to the CED organization the

believe when juveniles get tried as an adult it makes a counterproductive as a strategy for

preventing of reduce violence which keeps the hispanics and blacks to be the largest

number incarcerated.

With this article it will be helpful because it shows an discrimination of what happens

and why. And gives the view of giving another chance when German got in trouble again
 4

not learning his lesson. As well with the article it shows who gets affected the most.

Basically demonstrating the trap we fall into to find are self not being able to elevate.

5 Hazelton, Talitha. "Children Accused of Crimes Shouldn't be in Adult Courts." Palm

Beach Post, 08 Mar, 2017, pp. A.12, SIRS Issues Researcher, ​https://sks.sirs.com​.

Florida law allows prosecutors to send children charged with certain offenses

straight into adult court, a process known as 'direct file.'Which prosecutors are required to

send them to an rehabilitation camp. They don't have to explain why they decided to

prosecute the child as an adult. When children are transferred to the adult system, they're

sent to county jail, where they often remain for months, because most teenagers cannot

afford bond. These kids receive little education, though it is required by law.

With this article it shows the effects of trying a juvenile as and adult. As well as the

attitudes towards the situation by the prosecutors.

6 Rhee, Nissa. "At America's Largest Juvenile Detention Facility, Teaching Kids.."

Christian Science Monitor, 23 Dec, 2016, SIRS Issues Researcher, ​https://sks.sirs.com​.

The program is to reform the young juveniles to making attempts to slow down

automatic reactions they have by analyzing the feelings that provoke the reactions , such
 5

as anger, and making them think differently from the way they thought. And the Cook

county Juvenile Temporary Detention center that “successfully decreased violent crimes

arrests by 5 percent and increased high school graduation rates by 19 percent.

This article would be most helpful because it shows how rehabilitation centers

help a lot. As well as the relations it has with school to pipeline. Due to it helps increases

it.

“Adolescence is a period of physical, mental, and emotional development,

generally occurring between the ages of 12 and 18, often accompanied by distinct

behavioral changes. Neuroscience research shows that there are physical differences

between the brains of adults and youth” (p. 1). This brief describes these differences.

This article relates to my paper by proving that adults are different from juveniles giving

me points i can use to support my claim.

This is a "systematic review of correctional education programs for incarcerated

juveniles—results for corrective reading, computer-assisted instruction, personalized and

intensive instruction, other remedial instruction programs, vocational/career technical

education, and GED completion"

It supports the statement about education telling me everything i need to know.

It relates to my paper by giving solutions that may help prevent the problem more

than what it is. That the more programs are good.

All across America, youth are incarcerated or detained with little or no access to high

interest, culturally relevant library materials or engaging programming. Research has shown that

free and independent reading is the number one tool to improve literacy, a vital component to

reducing recidivism. Because youth come from and will return to all communities, library

Bibliography Page 12 incarcerated and detained youth and to encourage everyone to promote

and support high quality library services to incarcerated youth in their communities.

This relates to my research paper because it shows how programs can save our young

kids from being future delinquents. As well as giving them something to do makes an big impact

from having a lot of free time which may cause corruption thinking.
