Evidence‐Based Practice and Juvenile Justice
Juvenile justice
This article examines juvenile justice policy and practice with a special focus on changes over the past quarter-century that have both challenged and reasserted juvenile courts' founding principles that children do indeed differ from adults. Section I provides an overview of the early juvenile court—its philosophical underpinnings and historic mission. Section II examines the “due process revolution” of the 1960s and assesses its intended and un…
Contexts of Decision Making in the Juvenile Justice System
Significant advances have been made in our understanding of the origins and dynamics of minority overrepresentation in the juvenile justice system. Nevertheless, much remains to be learned. In this article, the authors explore the impact of race on juvenile justice processing by examining the organizational contexts in which decisions are made. They offer a theoretical framework that combines insights from organizational theory and the focal conc…
Juvenile law reform
Transformative justice
This paper examines the motivations of men and women who entered into mass tort litigation against the Catholic Church, primarily the Archdiocese of Boston, which alleged clergy sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests. The study is based on in-depth interviews with adult survivors of sexual abuse (perpetrated against boys and girls), and with their attorneys and other legal advocates. We explore the challenges faced by survivor-litigants, as well …
Public Opinion and Juvenile Justice Policy
Injustice and Irrationality in Contemporary Youth Policy
Lionel Tate was 12 years old when he killed 6‐year‐old Tiffany Eunick. Tiffany had been staying at the Tate home and, by all accounts, got along well with Lionel. The two were playing at “wrestling” when Lionel decided to try out some moves that he had seen on television. He threw Tiffany across the room, inflicting fatal injuries. Despite the boy's tender age, the prosecutor transferred Lionel to criminal court on a charge of first‐degree murder…
Juvenile Offenders in the Adult Criminal Justice System
Most state legislatures have instituted punitive reforms in response to rising rates of youth crime, including provisions that transfer an increasing number and range of adolescents to criminal courts for adult prosecution. Proponents assert that juvenile court sanctions and services constitute neither just nor effective responses to savvy juvenile offenders and propose that criminal prosecution will insure more proportionate punishments, provide…
Get-Tough Juvenile Justice Reforms
Get-tough reforms aimed at juvenile offenders have become commonplace in the United States. In the last decade, almost every state has modified laws relating to juvenile crime in some way, and the direction of the reforms has been very clear. States are getting tougher on juvenile offenders either by shifting away from traditional rehabilitation models to punishment-oriented juvenile justice or by legislating new or expanded legal means by which …
Race Effects in Juvenile Justice Decision-Making
Overrepresentation of minorities in the juvenile justice system is well-established.On a national level, minority youths are arrested in numbers greatly disproportionate to their numbers in the general population.While black youths comprise approximately 15% of the ten to seventeen year old population at risk for delinquency,' recent figures indicate that they constitute approximately 28% of youths arrested. 2Further, according to the Office ofJu…
Changes in Juvenile Waiver and Transfer Provisions
In 1994, Florida made three changes to its law that expanded its ability to transfer or waive juvenile offenders into adult court. This study demonstrates what would have happened to a random sample of 1993 cases had the new provisions been in effect. Florida's new provisions may double the number of cases coming to adult court and will have an impact on both the juvenile and adult systems. Both a new mandatory direct file provision and a new pre…
The Social Context of Race Differentials in Juvenile Justice Dispositions
Proponents of traditional conflict theory have argued that minority races receive harsher justice system dispositions because they lack the power and resources to ensure equal treatment. Hawkins' (1987) proposed revision of this model predicts minoritv races will receive harsher dispositions in social contexts in which their power threatens the dominant group's hegemony.This study uses juvenile justice processing data from the 32 Florida SMA coun…

Legal and Extralegal Barriers to Delinquency
Recent research on deterrence has begun to couch discussions of legal sanctions in the context of broader perspectives that take account of other factors that may inhibit law violation. Such an approach can answer significant questions about the importance of legal sanctions relative to other variables. In this research, a three‐variable inhibitory model suggested by Grasmick and Green (1980) was tested using panel data from a large sample of ado…
The Effect of Formal and Informal Sanctions on Delinquency
Theoretical conflicts and contradictions tend to be more apparent than real. They commonly are based on little more than the choice of quite different levels of analysis, dissimilar operationalizations of key concepts, or a host of other factors that can foster significant misconceptions. From time to time, however, one encounters theoretically and substantively significant situations within which very matter-of-fact contradictions do exist. The …
The Effects of Gender on Charge Reduction
Studies of criminal justice processing of adults commonly report that females are accorded more lenient treatment than are males. These results have given rise to theories that chivalry and male paternalism cause gender discrimination. This study examines the relationship between gender and charge reduction in the criminal justice process. Analyses focus on (1) the extent to which gender affects charge reduction independent of other social and le…
