F

Answer to Question 2

In 1908, England passed legislation that established for the first time that young offenders were to be treated separately from adult offenders; the law was known as the Children Act.
Like the United States, England adheres to the parens patriae treatment philosophy, which recognizes that youths are in need of special consideration and assistance.
The Children Act was founded on three main principles:
Juvenile offenders should be kept separate from adult criminals and should receive treatment differentiated to suit their special needs.
Parents should be made more responsible for the wrongdoing of their children.
The imprisonment of juveniles should be abolished.
Student views will vary.
