It seemed that the individual juvenile offender cases were not getting looked at based on the individual characteristics or needs of the offender, rather whomever prosecuted the case was determining it based on the nature of the offense. Because of this, there were greater numbers of juvenile offenders having their cases in adult criminal courts, which do not…
