Answer to Question 1
Efforts to ensure that juveniles are given appropriate treatment are consistent with the doctrine of parens patriae that predominated in the first half of the twentieth century.
Over the past century, the juvenile court has struggled to provide treatment for juvenile offenders while guaranteeing them constitutional due process.
But the system has been so overwhelmed by the increase in violent juvenile crime and family breakdown that some judges and politicians have suggested abolishing the juvenile system.
Even those experts who want to retain an independent juvenile court have called for its restructuring.
Crime control advocates want to reduce the court's jurisdiction over juveniles charged with serious crimes and liberalize the prosecutor's ability to try them in adult courts.
In contrast, child advocates suggest that the court scale back its judicial role and transfer its functions to community groups and social service agencies.
