This course will explore the meaning of “justice” in the context of the law related to juvenile delinquency and policy. Students will learn how juvenile law developed, from the establishment of separate juvenile courts designed to meet the needs of youth, to an adversarial system designed to protect the rights of the youth and public safety. Students will examine how the juvenile system has responded to the increase in violent crimes committed by juveniles as well as changing public perceptions of these youth. The course will examine the law as well as public policy issues relating to such topics as the right to representation and confrontation, cruel and unusual punishment, the transfer of juveniles to adult court, dual court jurisdiction, rehabilitation versus punishment, advances in brain science and psychology, and resiliency.
