Juvenile Crime and The Sealed Record : A short, 3 page argument about how
the juvenile justice system is failing and youthful offenders are not being deterred from
committing more crimes. The writer argues that a 15 year-old delinquent should share many
of the same penalties for committing an offense that a 22 year-old delinquent would for
committing the same offense. Most important to the discussion is the idea that a
juvenile's record should not be "hidden" after they've reached adulthood.
Individual members of society should be able to make judgments based on someone's entire
record and then determine whether or not crimes of their childhood are worthy of special
attention. No Bibliography. Juvycorr.wps

surrounding the penalties given to status offenders and the likelihood that probation will
become the most viable answer to the problem. The opinions of reputed caseworkers are
cited to evidence the idea that while harsher sentences for status offenders must be ruled
out, the lack of some penalty is unacceptable and therefore, probation-style programs are
the most likely answer to the problem. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Statusof.wps
