Historical themes of juvenile justice include the shift from punitive to rehabilitative approaches, the development of a separate juvenile justice system, the focus on the best interests of the child, and the ongoing debate over the balance between accountability and compassion in addressing juvenile offending.
The "big three" juvenile cases in juvenile justice are Kent v. United States, In re Gault, and In re Winship. These landmark cases established important legal rights and protections for juveniles involved in the justice system, such as the right to due process, the right to counsel, and the standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
The principal components of the juvenile justice system typically include diversion programs, probation, detention centers, rehabilitation services, and court hearings specifically for minors. These components aim to address the needs of juvenile offenders, provide appropriate consequences, and promote rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
The primary purpose of the original juvenile justice system was to rehabilitate and provide guidance to young offenders, rather than punish them as adults. It aimed to steer juveniles away from a life of crime by addressing the underlying causes of their behavior.
During the due process period in juvenile justice, there was a shift towards providing juveniles with rights similar to those of adults, including the right to legal representation, notification of charges, and protection against self-incrimination. This change aimed to ensure fairness and protection for juveniles involved in the justice system.
The juvenile justice system was created by reformers in the 19th century who believed that young offenders should be treated differently than adult criminals. One influential figure in this movement was reformer Lyman Beecher, who advocated for separate courts and facilities for youth offenders.
