Develop an assessment of combining the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems, from law enforcement to corrections, with a focus on the following:
* Explain what could happen to juveniles if they are introduced to the adult system. Is it already happening? Think of how juveniles differ from adults in terms of gender, family life, and peer pressure as you formulate your response.
* Identify the sociological and Life Course Theories leading juveniles to become delinquent.
* Interpret how drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and peer pressure influence a juvenile’s participation in deviance.
* Determine how effective the DARE program, Scare Straight, and Boot camps are in rehabilitating and deterring juvenile delinquency.
* Interpret how the original theoretical foundation of juvenile justice translates to the practices occurring today.
* Explore differences in prevention and treatment programs for juveniles as compared to adult offenders. Provide an example for prevention and treatment programs for both juveniles and adult offenders.
