Challenges Facing the U.S. Juvenile Justice System
Law – Juvenile Justice
The current U.S. Juvenile Justice System is burdened with underlying problems contributing to juvenile delinquency. There is a direct link between child abuse, child neglect, mental illness and juvenile delinquency. In addition, due to inadequate responses to those underlying problems, the juvenile justice system is forced to deal with problems for which it is decidedly inappropriate and incompetent. In the future, the Juvenile Justice System must deal with all the current problems and find adequate responses, including but not limited to a multidisciplinary approach that will combine the resources of educators, law enforcement, social workers, mental health professionals, lawyers, judges and community members.
