Directions: Read the questions below and write a response.
Your answer to each question should be at least the requested
length that is specified in each prompt.
1. Step 1: Design an approach to juvenile justice for the
United States that takes the best and prohibits the worst
elements from systems in other countries in the world. Step 2:
Use a bulleted list for the best elements from other countries
that you would incorporate into your approach. Use a second
bulleted list for the worst elements from other countries that
you would prohibit from your approach. For each of the bullet
points, identify the country that employs that approach and
write a one-sentence justification for why you are including or
excluding it from your approach. This should be at least one
page in length.
2. Step 1: Locate and read a news article that discusses a
societal issue related to why juveniles become offenders.
Research news articles in your local area or nationally. You can
use your local library or a news search engine, such as the News
7. tab on Google. Step 2: Write a summary of the article that is at
least one page in length and state whether you agree or disagree
with it. Are there caveats that are not presented in the article?
Is the article misleading or does it generalize the behaviors of
only a small percentage of juveniles? Is the article slanted in
any way? Explain. Use proper APA citations to indicate your
sources.
