Answer to Question 1

Why the juvenile justice system treats adolescent females unfairly:
 They receive discriminatory treatment because of society's disapproval of sexual activity.
 They have a greater probability of being detained and held for longer periods than males, even though the overwhelming majority of females are charged with status offenses.
 Many appear in court for criminal type offenses that had previously been classified as status offenses.
 Early studies in particular found that police officers, intake personnel, and judges supported a sexual double standard.
