Book excerpt: In the District of Columbia, the U.S. Attorney's Office has absolute authority to charge sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds as adults for certain crimes and prosecute them as adults in the Criminal Division of D.C. Superior Court, automatically divesting the juvenile justice system of jurisdiction over them. No hearing is afforded to those individuals to determine whether they are beyond the rehabilitative reach of the juvenile justice system. When convicted, they face adult sentences in adult correctional facilities. Nearly all U.S. states likewise permit the prosecution of children under eighteen in adult courts in some cases, but each of those state laws is dissimilar from D.C.'s in one important way: the D.C. law, known commonly as Title 16, was passed by the U.S. Congress, and only Congress -- not D.C. residents legislating through their elected representatives on the D.C. Council -- can change it. The D.C. Home Rule Act bars the Council from enacting any law touching on the jurisdiction of D.C. courts or the power of the U.S. Attorney. This Note challenges the constitutionality of this scheme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though youth crime rates have fallen since the mid-1990s, public fear and political rhetoric over the issue have heightened. The Columbine shootings and other sensational incidents add to the furor. Often overlooked are the underlying problems of child poverty, social disadvantage, and the pitfalls inherent to adolescent decisionmaking that contribute to youth crime. From a policy standpoint, adolescent offenders are caught in the crossfire between nurturance of youth and punishment of criminals, between rehabilitation and "get tough" pronouncements. In the midst of this emotional debate, the National Research Council's Panel on Juvenile Crime steps forward with an authoritative review of the best available data and analysis. Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents recommendations for addressing the many aspects of America's youth crime problem. This timely release discusses patterns and trends in crimes by children and adolescentsâ€"trends revealed by arrest data, victim reports, and other sources; youth crime within general crime; and race and sex disparities. The book explores desistanceâ€"the probability that delinquency or criminal activities decrease with ageâ€"and evaluates different approaches to predicting future crime rates. Why do young people turn to delinquency? Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice presents what we know and what we urgently need to find out about contributing factors, ranging from prenatal care, differences in temperament, and family influences to the role of peer relationships, the impact of the school policies toward delinquency, and the broader influences of the neighborhood and community. Equally important, this book examines a range of solutions: Prevention and intervention efforts directed to individuals, peer groups, and families, as well as day care-, school- and community-based initiatives. Intervention within the juvenile justice system. Role of the police. Processing and detention of youth offenders. Transferring youths to the adult judicial system. Residential placement of juveniles. The book includes background on the American juvenile court system, useful comparisons with the juvenile justice systems of other nations, and other important information for assessing this problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The U.S. Branch and Criminal Jury Court of the Court of General Sessions occupy key positions in the criminal court system of the District of Columbia. Nearly 90 percent of all adult defendants charged with felonies or serious misdemeanors enter the judicial system through the U.S. Branch, and a large proportion of these cases are ultimately disposed of either there or in the Jury Court. In the past these courts have received relatively little public attention, and no detailed analysis of their operations, problems, and needs has been made. This study is an initial attempt to fill that gap. It is not an analysis of the entire system, but deals only with those aspects which touch the work of the two branches under study"--Page 1.
