Rethinking
Childhood: Juveniles and the Justice
System |
Despite
the fact that the overall rate of juvenile
crime is declining, children are being imprisoned
and confined at alarming rates, with minority
youth in particular making up the majority
of incarcerated youth around the country. Why
is this the case? This speaker’s series
seeks to shed light on the issues surrounding
juvenile incarceration and explore new ways
of dealing with youth in the justice system. |
This
series is co-sponsored by The Rutgers University-Camden
Center for Children and Childhood Studies and The
Rutgers University School of Law Children's
Justice Clinic |
