Instructions
After reading the articles linked below, written by Jeffrey Butts and Judge Burnett, do you feel that the juvenile
court is still necessary in the U.S.?
These articles were written 20 years ago and yet here we are still debating the “reform” potential of the
juvenile court. Whose argument is more convincing given what you now know about delinquency in the U.S.?
Be sure to use information from both articles to help support your answers.
Please include stuff from Chapters 21-25. What information you use will depend on the argument you are
making. I want to see how you can integrate the material into your answer.
This essay needs to be more developed and thought out than your previous posts. You do not need to do anyadditional research, however, be sure to show evidence to support your arguments using the articles I have
provided. The length of the essay will vary but needs to be 1000 words at minimum.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
