Proposed Project
I am a student at Rice University in Houston, TX, and as part of a class assignment was thinking of creating a new article that is related to this page on the Juvenile Justice System in the United States. There is currently a very short article American juvenile justice system, which has multiple issues with citation, quality, and objectivity. It has been suggested that the article be deleted entirely. I thought it would be a good idea to write a new article that covered issues the original does not, and that would allow the current one to be removed. My proposed contribution would have a link to this page, and would provide a broader overview of the juvenile justice system with regards to how adolescents are tried, as well as methods of juvenile punishment other than incarceration (for example, I would describe the use and effectiveness of alternative schools). My proposed article would include sections on the History and Background of the juvenile justice system; the demographic makeup of adolescents in the juvenile justice system by race, gender, and socioeconomic status; criticisms of the juvenile justice system and its relationship to adult crime (are people in tried and convicted in the system more likely to engage in criminal activity as adults); and proposed reforms to the system in general. I would greatly appreciate feedback and ideas on how to expand information and discussion on this topic. Thank you! LHall19 (talk) 01:34, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
