• Juvenile Justice Putting it in Perspective. In
  Chapter 1 of the text, our author talks about
  "putting it all into perspective." After reading
  chapters 1 and 2 and reviewing the video Young
  Kids, Hard Time (this video is recommended, but
  not required), select one of the juveniles from
  your reading, the movie, or you may speak from
  personal experience and a particular juvenile in
  mind. Address the three questions in the
  following quote from the video
• In a world that demands justice when the
  unthinkable becomes reality, there are no easy
  answers when that reality involves minors. The
  United States has the highest incarceration rate
  in the world and remains the only nation that, in
  rare circumstances, will sentence its juveniles
  to life without parole.

• CRJ 301 Week 1 DQ 2 Juvenile Rights and the Courts

• CRJ 301 Week 2 DQ 1 Reality Meets the Theoretical

• Juvenile Rights and the Courts. In Chapter 2 of
  the text, our author summarizes five U.S. Supreme
  Court Cases
• a. Kent v. United States (1966)
• b. re Gault (1967)
• c. re Winship (1970)
• d. McKeiver v. Pennsylvania (1971)

• Reality Meets the Theoretical. In Chapter 4 of
  the text, our author talks about risk factors and
  protective factors. Select a juvenile of your
  choice or one that we have already studied (such
  as Greg Ousley, Colt Lundy, or Paul Gingerich
  from the video in Week One, "Young Kids, Hard
  Time") and conduct a search for additional
  information on their case, their trial, and their
  situation.

• CRJ 301 Week 2 Juvenile Crime PowerPoint

• CRJ 301 Week 2 DQ 2 Rights of Juveniles

• Rights of Juveniles. Read either the case study
  at the beginning of Chapter 5 about the
  Juveniles at the Plaza or the case study about
  drug searches in schools. Both of these cases
  deal with the legal rights of juveniles and
  interpretations of law by the U.S. Supreme Court.
  Review the Bill of Rights, which are the first 10
  amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and identify
  the rights addressed in one of the case studies.
  How is the right adjusted to accommodate for
  juveniles? Why do juveniles have a modified right
  compared to adults?

• Statistical Analysis Presentation. Present a
  PowerPoint slide presentation or a written report
  (you do not have to do both) depicting your
  analysis of historical juvenile crime data for a
  specific category of crime, or criminal issue. As
  an alternative to PowerPoint, you can use one of
  the presentation applications listed here, or one
  approved by your instructor MoveNote,
  VoiceThread, Prezi, or Google Present. Select one
  component of the criminal justice system (e.g.,
  law enforcement, courts, or corrections) to focus
  your research.

• CRJ 301 Week 3 DQ 1 The Role of Juvenile Courts

• CRJ 301 Week 3 DQ 2 The Changing Role of Probation

• The Changing Role of Probation. The author of the
  textbook lays out three critical thinking
  questions at the end of Chapter 7 that examine
  issues surrounding probation and its role in
  addressing juvenile delinquency. Select one of
  the critical thinking questions for this
  discussion
• a. Probation is the workhorse of the juvenile
  justice system, but it often suffers from a
  negative image.

• The Role of Juvenile Courts. The separation of
  the juvenile court from the adult court for
  hearing juvenile delinquency cases is a major
  social justice statement. The textbook lays out
  five critical thinking questions at the end of
  Chapter 6. Select one for your initial post to
  the discussion
• a. Should the philosophy of the juvenile court
  system be rehabilitative or punitive?

• CRJ 301 Week 3 Journal Article Review

• CRJ 301 Week 4 DQ 1 Goals of Juvenile Confinement

• Goals of Juvenile Confinement. In the Final
  Paper, you must address the issue of treatment
  versus punishment. This discussion is designed to
  help everyone with this debate that shapes
  juvenile justice in every state. There are many
  thoughts that cross the spectrum, so this is your
  opportunity to discuss, with your peers, the
  benefits and challenges of a variety of juvenile
  justice, in-residence programs.

• Courts and Delinquency Intervention/Prevention
  Programs. Use the University Library to locate a
  journal article encompassing such topics as
  court programs, sentencing, probation, and
  delinquency. You can use your research in your
  Final Paper, due in Week Five. Also, the Required
  and Recommended Resources, listed every week, are
  available to use as research for your Final
  Paper.

  Challenge to Juvenile Justice

• CRJ 301 Week 4 Journal Article Review

• Corrections and Delinquency Intervention/Preventio
  n Programs. Use the University Library to locate
  a journal article encompassing such topics as
  corrections, jails, prisons, rehabilitation, or
  boot camps. You can use your research in your
  Final Paper, due in Week Five. Also, the Required
  and Recommended Resources, listed every week, are
  available to use as research for your Final
  Paper.

• Special Populations A Challenge to Juvenile
  Justice. Chapter 9 of the text addresses special
  populations of juveniles that pose significant
  problems to the juvenile justices system. Assume
  you were writing a proposal to a city or state
  administrator to address one of the special
  populations identified in our text (e.g., early
  starters, juvenile gangs, or juvenile sex
  offenders) and explain why juveniles in the this
  category must be treated outside the normal
  juvenile delinquency programs.

• CRJ 301 Week 5 DQ 1 Competing for Limited Funding

• CRJ 301 Week 5 DQ 2 Connecting the Dots - What is
  an Effective Program

• Connecting the Dots What is an Effective
  Program? In Chapter 10, the text addresses
  primary, secondary and tertiary prevention
  programs. What are these levels? Give an example
  of an effective program in each level. Give a
  brief description of each program, its intended
  purpose, and target juvenile population. Why do
  you think they are effective?
• When responding to one of your classmates,
  address one of the programs with a focus on one
  of the texts questions below concerning
  prevention programs.

• Competing for Limited Funding. In today's reality
  of shrinking budgets, states continue to look for
  money that is not being effectively spent. State
  legislatures want to ensure they are getting the
  most for their limited dollars. The legislature
  has requested you to present an overview of an
  effective juvenile justice alternative sentencing
  program that you are aware of from the text or
  your research, and explain why it is effective
  and why it should be funded.

• CRJ 301 Week 5 Final Paper

• Focus of the Final Paper
• When looking at the relationship between social
  justice and juvenile justice, there are two over
  arching concepts when addressing juvenile
  delinquency - treatment and punishment. These two
  concepts have driven a cycle of changes in the
  juvenile justice system over the years.
