Abstract |
An essay is presented about an article on the issues surrounding the adult criminal justice system in the U.S., by Farrington and colleagues, published within the issue. Farrington and colleagues argued that the criminal behavior or activity of youth increased the costs to individuals and society. They added that the justice system approach to youthful offenders is misaligned, and pondered on the proposed increase in adult court referral from 18 to 24. |
