Abstract
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."

From the Paper
"Attachment theory, as proposed by Bowlby (1969, 1973), serves as a conceptual framework for explaining variations in mental health, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relations. According to Bowlby (1969, 1973), the attachment system is designed to help the child maintain proximity to significant others as a means of coping with stress-inducing events. A child's attachment behavior becomes activated by hunger, pain, fatigue, or anything frightening (Bowlby, 1988). The significant other functions as a "haven of safety" that individuals seek out for support and relief in times of stress. Additionally, the significant other serves as a "secure base" from which to explore the world and pursue other goals unrelated to attachment (Mikulincer, et al., 2003). According to Bowlby (1988), if the caregiver is consistent, there is a sense of security in this relationship. "

Abstract
This paper examines the phenomenon of violent juvenile offenders and explores the reasons and theories behind it. It begins by examining the "gang violence" culture which breeds many violent youth. It then examines the interplay between violent and non-violent crime and shows how often those who begin with non-violent move quickly to violent if not correctly guided. The writer then looks at misconceptions about juvenile dlinquency and its origins. The writer concludes with stressing the importance of avoiding incarceration, so as not to create career criminals.
From the Paper
"At the same time, the nature of juvenile crime has changed significantly. The United States has seen a notable increase in gangs and gang violence. This can be blamed in part on the popularization of gangs, which were at one point limited to blighted sections of Los Angeles and other cities. Drug prohibition has provided these groups with a revenue stream; gangs have provided a more dynamic distribution system for scheduled narcotics than traditional organized crime. Unlike many traditional merchants or racketeers, teenagers from lower income families without other job prospects willingly undertake the political risks associated with the sale of these narcotics."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer explores several of the options that exist for the judicial system to house juvenile sex offenders. The paper introduces each one of these options and discusses their positive and negative aspects. Housing options include protective foster care, residential homes, group homes and institutions.
From the Paper
" Juvenile sex offenders present a special problem for those who are charged with housing them for a variety of reasons. Juvenile sex offenders are often victims as well as offenders therefore it is important that both angles of their issues be addressed. Figuring out where and how to house a juvenile sex offender is a difficult task as they must be separated from potential victims, while it is also important to try and work with them for the purpose of rehabilitation. Further complicating the issue is the fact that juveniles cannot be housed in prisons with adults. While there are several options for the housing of juvenile sex offenders it is important to choose the right one based on each juvenile?s particular circumstances. "

" Introduction
Statement of the Problem
The literature has provided an extensive overview regarding youth and violent crime. A historic look at adolescent crime shows that murders committed by teens between the ages 14 and 17, increased 165% between 1985 and 1995. This number was feared to double by the year 2010. Drugs were blamed as were gangs and guns. Juvenile homicides are usually committed with handguns (90%). Childhood abuse was also thought to be a factor. Incarceration is viewed by some to be the answer, however effectiveness and a cost benefit ratio of this solution has not yet been determined (Crispell, 1997, p. 42)."

From the Paper
" The rising tide of juvenile violence is one of the core issues facing contemporary American society and, indeed, many other societies in the world. Attempts to explain, or even to understand, why young people today are resorting to levels of violence almost unknown a decade ago are often just vague generalizations which have been similarly applied to (less or non-violent) teens in the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s.
Academicians have theorized that there is a
subculture of violence [which] proposes that variations in the use of violent behavior stem from the adherence to subcultural normative systems that support and encourage violence. . . . [T]he violent subculture promotes a relatively greater number of conditions under which violence is expected or required of its.."

Abstract
This paper examines what causes minors to commit acts of sexual abuse, as well as whether or not such offenders have diagnosable and treatable psychiatric and/or anti-social disorders. The writer points out that juvenile sexual offending appears to traverse racial,cultural and economic boundaries. The paper also describes those youths whose profiles potentially fit that of a sex offender. The author concludes the paper with treatment options for offenders.
From the Paper
"Characteristics that offenders sometimes have in common are being dependent individuals with feelings of inadequacy stemming from early family histories characterized by conflict, disruption, abandonment and exploitation. Approximately 80% of all perpetrators were sexually abused themselves as children. Once a child is sexually abused it has a horrible effect on them, which causes them to suffer from devastating psychological breakdowns."

Juvenile Offenders, 2002.
A discussion of whether juvenile offenders should be tried as adults.

Abstract
This paper examines, through a literature review, the issue of whether juvenile offenders should be punished in the same way as adults in light of the increase of crimes involving juvenile offenders and also the level of violence associated with such crimes. In response to the perceived skyrocketing in juvenile crime, states throughout the country have passed a variety of measures to send more juvenile offenders to criminal court. Historically our criminal justice system has encouraged law enforcement officials and prosecutors to focus on rehabilitation when it comes to juvenile offenders since law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and researchers believed that youths often make mistakes and are more able to learn and re-train their behavior than adult offenders who are often more jaded and violent. It evaluates how the decision to prosecute a juvenile offender as an adult has momentous consequences for the individual involved, with the juvenile offender frequently being confined with the general adult inmate population, arguably increasing the likelihood of recidivism since the juvenile offender will be exposed to ?new? crimes as well as techniques for avoiding punishment.
From the Paper
"There is a large array of literature concerning juvenile offenders and the issue of whether juveniles should be tried as adults. Presently there are three possible mechanisms used to allow juvenile offenders to be tried as adults. Judicial waiver involves a juvenile court judge transferring an adolescent to criminal court based on, among other things, the seriousness of the crime, the offender?s history, and the chances of the offender repeating his or her act. (Steinberg). Direct file policies allow the prosecutor to decide whether to file charges against a juvenile offender in criminal or juvenile court. (Steinberg). Finally, under statutory exclusion, certain categories of juveniles are automatically tried in adult criminal court. (Steinberg). Statutory exclusion is generally determined by a combination of age and the seriousness of the offense. (Steinberg)."

From the Paper
"Recent research into the structure and function of the brain suggests that it may be more appropriate to treat even older teens as juveniles rather than adults. Brain imaging has confirmed that the human brain is still undergoing significant development and structural changes at the ages of 16 and 17 and that this affects the ability to make sound decisions and to resist impulsive actions (Beckman, 2004).
Much of this newer information is available because of advances in brain imaging techniques. Researchers are still exploring whether brain development finalizes around the age of 20 or at 25, but the changes that take place before that point are viewed as crucial to the ability to make good choices (Beckman, 2004). However, brain scans of teenagers show gray matter still being covered in a fatty protective coating called "white matter). Researchers found that just before puberty the amount of gray matter increases substantially, followed by a period called "pruning, where gray matter cells are pared away, while the amount of white matter increases.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the recidivism rate of youthful offenders and their attaining their high school diploma. The author uses journal articles and other sources to discuss whether juvenile offenders obtaining a GED have any impact on the recidivism rate that they hold. The author also explores the importance of encouraging at-risk juveniles to get their GED so they have opportunities to stay out of problem lifestyles.
From the Paper
"Recently the focus on juvenile offenders has intensified. Media coverage, combined with seemingly more violent offenses have placed juvenile offender issues in the spotlight nationwide. Legislators have been faced with how harshly to punish such offenders, school systems have had to deal with their attendance and parents have to spend countless dollars and hours working to try and get their teen turned around before he or she reaches adulthood. Many experts feel if youthful offenders could be rehabilitated before the age of majority they have a good chance of leading productive non-criminal lives. Juvenile offenders often turn to crime because they do not feel there are other options. Violence, drug deals and other acts of crime find themselves in juvenile circles nationwide. "
