This article cites many sources that focus on some of the flaws in our juvenile justice system. It really seems to highlight a handful of the key factors we talked about in the first section of this course, such as overly punitive treatment of youth, disproportionate minority contact, lack of judicial discretion, and inadequate assistance of counsel. it is very interesting to read through the information provided within the article, and they compare it to the issues within our society today.
