Abstract

TWELVE SELECTED GENERALIZATIONS OR DELINQUENCY PRINCIPLES ARE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED ALONG WITH THE ISSUE OF JUVENILE STATUS OFFENSES AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM. IN ADDITION FOUR SUGGESTIONS MADE BY CONFEREES FOR RESTRUCTURING THE JUVENILE COURT AND ITS PHILOSOPHY ARE OUTLINED. PROPOSALS WERE ALSO MADE TO BRING TOGETHER COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD INSTITUTIONS. OTHER CONFERENCE TOPICS INCLUDED DECRIMINALIZING JUVENILE STATUS OFFENSES, DIVERTING YOUTH FROM THE COURTS, AND THE NEED TO REACTIVATE BASIC COMMUNITY SYSTEMS FOR JUVENILE DELINQUENCY PRVENTION.
