Violent Juvenile Sex Offender

Paper Summary:

This paper is a mock court case of a juvenile sex offender. The writer describes how the state's attorney first makes a case, based on the nature of the crime, the accused's criminal history, and family environment. The writer continues to show how the defense then refutes each of these three arguments, calling for leniency. Finally, the writer demonstrates that the court gives its final decision, based on the evidence provided, the sources used and the arguments that were made.

From the Paper:

"The state will, in their argument, ask that the defendant, a 12 year old sex offender, be remanded to the adult court system. This transfer from juvenile court is being requested on the grounds that the defendant has committed adult crimes, both in this case and in the past, and that rehabilitative measures and the juvenile justice system are not adequate to hold him. The arguments that the state shall make are that this crime, in particular, is particularly heinous and violent in nature, that the defendant's history proves that rehabilitation and juvenile confinement will not prove successful, and that the defendant's parent has not and will not be able to monitor and rear this individual. The first thing that we shall look at in the case of the defendant is the crime in question."
