Choose either juvenile diversion OR transfer to adult court (you are not required to discuss both policies, pick one!). Describe the major elements of this stage of the juvenile justice process including the goals, objectives, and rationale of the policy. What are the theoretical and empirical justifications for its continued use?
Take a position on whether this policy/practice aligns with the founding principles of the juvenile court. Then, identify the major strengths and weaknesses using material from the module readings.
Please (re)consider the Steinberg (2017) article about developmental neuroscience and juvenile justice. How does your chosen policy/practice align with the arguments made by the author?
Please make sure to upload a 3-5 page Word document with your answer. Assignments will be put through turnitin.com.
