Q:Discussion Question 1
Due Date: Day 2 [Main] forum
Review pp. 320-324 and pp. 332-335 of Juvenile Delinquency.
Your instructor will divide the class into three discussion clusters and assign each cluster one of the following controversial issues:
o Confidentiality in juvenile proceedings
o Waiver to adult court
o Death penalty for juveniles
Post your response to the question below for the cluster to which you are assigned:
o Confidentiality in juvenile proceedings
What do you feel is more important—freedom of press to publish pictures and names of juvenile offenders or juveniles’ rights to private court proceedings? Explain your answer.
o Waiver to adult court
Should certain juvenile offenders be waived to adult courts? Why or why not?
o Death penalty for juveniles
Should juveniles who commit serious capital crimes under the age of 16 be eligible for the death penalty? Why or why not?
Consider reviewing the discussions in the other clusters to gain a deeper understanding of these three issues. In addition, the CheckPoint this week will ask you to further discuss these issues. Reviewing and taking notes on the discussions in the other clusters will help you save time with the CheckPoint later this week.
