CJ 250 - Juvenile Justice

This is a sociological—but also very much an interdisciplinary—examination of the definition, trends, causes, and consequences of “criminal” actions committed by young people. It also examines how the “criminal justice system” is applied to minors and considers the various critiques of this application and the on-going efforts toward juvenile justice reform.
