Predominant Philosophy of the Juvenile System
Alterations in the social origination ideology of youngsters and
the system of cultural control in the nineteenth-century y led to
the establishment of the very first juvenile court in 1899. To
differentiate between the young and adult offenders, progressive
philosophers made efforts to reform the juvenile court system.
They developed new thoughts regarding adolescence and made
the court system social welfare which was established to deal
with both criminal and non-criminal offense of the young
offenders. The United States Supreme Court changed the
juvenile court into an organization rather than the progressives
examination (Caldwell, 2014). Comment by Jamie Price: If the
entire paragraph comes from the same source, let the reader
know up front. Keep the reader informed.
I like to acknowledge the source in the first sentence and then
cite again at the end. And depending on the information, I may
cite some in the middle (if needed).
The juvenile justice system was to focus on the child or
adolescent as a person in need of assistance, not on the act that
brought him or her before the court. The proceedings were
informal, with much discretion left to the juvenile court judge.
Because the judge was to act in the best interests of the child,
procedural safeguards available to adults, such as the right to an
attorney, the right to know the charges brought against one, the
right to trial by jury, and the right to confront one's accuser,
were thought unnecessary. Juvenile court proceedings were
closed to the public and juvenile records were to remain
confidential so as not to interfere with the child's or
adolescent's ability to be rehabilitated and reintegrated into
society. The very language used in juvenile court underscored
these differences. Juveniles are not charged with crimes, but

4. rather with delinquencies; they are not found guilty, but rather
are adjudicated delinquent; they are not sent to prison, but to
training school or reformatory.
Key Differences between the Juvenile and Adult Systems
Based on the classification, in many states, an individual
accused of an offense between the age of ten and eighteen is
considered as an adolescent. On the other hand, an adult is a
person above the age of eighteen. However, some states extend
to the furthest age of sixteen or seventeen as an adolescent
court. Comment by Jamie Price: Yes, different states have
different age limits
In court proceedings, an adult is usually accused of wrongdoing
while an adolescent is charged with reprobate demonstration. It
thus suggests that the adolescent infraction is allowed to have
conferred is not genuinely too much. Adolescents are not tried
on full trial by a judge, but the judge chooses their issues.
Based on objectives, an adult is said to be liable for a particular
wrongdoing and thus the court concentrate on punishing. It
endeavors to make an individual who is accused of a crime not
to perform comparative wrongdoing in the future. On the other
hand, the adolescent court system concentrates on rehabilitation
of the young offender. In such n instance, the court regularly
uses parole and probation plus diversionary project.
The Differences between Dependency and Delinquency
Dependency comes in when many youngsters having cases in
court attend the court’s proceedings due to lack of sufficient
care from their parents and guardians. In such a case the judge
is required to make an essential and intense decision to
illustrate the ways forward towards helping the offender by
either taking the individual away from the conditions that may
be considered dangerous (Brenner and Whitmeyer, 2011).
Comment by Jamie Price: Always use “&” inside the
parentheses and “and” in the narrative.
A juvenile delinquent focuses on cases of young children who
have performed a typical crime between the ages of 10 to 18.
Though the minor does not go through the full trial of a high

5. standard, they experience an arbitration system where they are
sentenced. The case starts at the time the prosecutor documents
a request to sentence a juvenile to law violations.
The Reasoning Behind and the Importance of Confidentiality in
Juvenile Court
Juvenile cases are incredibly personal and sensitive since the
adolescent criminal proceedings manage individual matters that
are profoundly touching. The hearings commonly include
neglect, debate care, youngster personal support and
testimonials from social employees. Most of the young
offenders are usually open and willing to affirm their emotions
and encounters about their family’s dynamics. Due to these
issues, all the hearings are kept confidential to prevent various
people from having information that might uncover some of the
sensitive issues (Tamilia, 2009).
All the cases should be well guarded since they involve private
and delicate family matters. The confidential hearings are
essential to keep away the offenders from proclaiming sexual
attack, mishandle occasions and any declarations of harming
acts. When these records are sealed, it allows the offender to
concede to the accusations (Caldwell, 2014). Also, the privacy
of the family records makes the family, and the child feels the
court’s safety. Comment by Jamie Price: You provided some
good information. But you need a conclusion. Use the
