Document Summary

Lecture two juvenile justice and chapter 2 (january 22) The language of juvenile court is different from that of adult court: Juveniles are taken into custody; adults are arrested. Juveniles have an adjudication hearing; adults have trials. Juveniles are held in detention; adults are held in jail. Juveniles are petitioned; adults are accused or indicted. Juveniles have a preliminary inquiry; adults are arraigned. Juveniles are found delinquent; adults are found guilty. Juveniles receive an adjudication; adults receive a conviction. Juveniles receive a disposition; adults receive a sentence. Chapter 2: a crime by any other name. The author believed that we are deceived into believing that the criminal justice protects all of us, but there is a distinct class bias. They came up with different criteria than what"s usually used to define an act as criminal: Crime is defined by the level of human suffering and harm done to the public, regardless of who is responsible for the act.
