QUESTIONS

youth—such as police and court personnel discretion in how they handle delinquency cases—may benefit
youth. (b) Describe how and why it may harm them. (c) What could be done to ensure that personnel
discretion helps rather than harms youth?

of juvenile offenders. (b) Discuss problems that may undermine the effectiveness of the juvenile court.
(c) Pick one type of sanction (probation, residential commitment, transfer) and present an argument for
how you would improve its effectiveness.
