Excellent- More about The Transferring of America's Youth
The juvenile justice system in the US was established in 1899 to divert juvenile offenders from the adult criminal court and encourage rehabilitation. However, as the decades progressed, juveniles became increasingly involved in more serious crimes, leading to "get tough" policies and strategies. By the 1990s, states made it easier or required the prosecution of juveniles as adults in criminal court, which may be counter-productive and cause harm to offenders, their families, and the community. This volume provides a comprehensive historical review of knowledge surrounding the transfer of Americans youth from the rehabilitative, individualized treatment of the juvenile justice system to the adult criminal justice system.

The United States established a distinct juvenile justice system in 1899 with the primary objective of diverting juvenile offenders from the severe penalties imposed by the adult criminal court and promoting rehabilitation tailored to individual needs. This innovative juvenile court was modeled after civil or chancery courts, featuring informal proceedings and granting the juvenile court judge substantial discretion. Furthermore, juvenile court proceedings were conducted in private, and juvenile records were maintained under strict confidentiality.
However, as the years passed, juveniles became increasingly involved in more serious criminal activities, leading to widespread concern among lawmakers, educators, and the public. This fear resulted in the adoption of various "get tough" policies and strategies aimed at addressing juvenile crime. By the 1990s, the most widely accepted approach among states was to facilitate or mandate the prosecution of juveniles as adults in criminal court.
Research has consistently shown that such policies may be counter-productive, increasing rather than decreasing recidivism, and causing harm to offenders, their families, and the broader community. This volume offers a comprehensive historical examination of the shift from the rehabilitative, individualized treatment provided by the juvenile justice system to the adult criminal justice system in the United States.
