Annotation

THE HANDLING OF JUVENILE STATUS OFFENDERS AND MANDATORY AND DETERMINATE SENTENCING OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS ARE DISCUSSED IN THIS AUDIO TAPE CASSETTE FROM THE FOURTH NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON JUVENILE JUSTICE.

Abstract

THE FIRST SPEAKER SUPPORTS THE JURISDICTION OF JUVENILE COURTS OVER STATUS OFFENDERS BECAUSE ONLY THE COURTS CAN ASSURE THAT THE RIGHTS OF THE JUVENILES ARE PROTECTED. THEN, OTHER SPEAKERS DISCUSS THE LAWS THAT DEAL WITH JUVENILE STATUS OFFENDERS IN MISSOURI, CALIFORNIA, NEW JERSEY, AND ALASKA. NEXT, MANDATORY SENTENCING IS DISTINGUISHED FROM DETERMINATE SENTENCING, AND AN EXAMPLE OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DETERMINATE SENTENCING FOR A MINNESOTA YOUTH FORESTRY CAMP IS PRESENTED. NO SUPPORTING MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED. FOR RELATED DOCUMENTS, SEE NCJ 67673-80.
