Juveniles are treated differently than adults in the criminal justice system because they are considered to be less mature and responsible for their actions. The focus is on rehabilitation and providing them with opportunities to change their behavior, rather than solely on punishment. This approach recognizes that young people have the potential to learn from their mistakes and become productive members of society.

What would happen if you didnt have criminal justice?

Criminals wouldn't be trialed fairly, or they would rome freely. The Innocent could be mixed in with the guiltly and you can put an innocent mans life in behind bars. Or the alternative, the Guilty could be treated as an innocent and could be let go. In conclusion, if we didn't have criminal justice there is no point on having any laws, if justice won't be served.
