Annotation

This section discusses changes made by the Federal Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 to procedures for the compilation and use of the records of juveniles.

Abstract

The 1984 legislation permits fingerprinting and photographing juveniles prosecuted as adults and allows a court to transfer to the FBI information about juveniles twice adjudicated guilty of violent felonies. The news media are denied access to the photograph and name of a juvenile delinquent unless the juvenile is being prosecuted as an adult. 18 footnotes.
