While the U.S. Supreme Court has guaranteed juveniles many of the same procedural rights as adults, not all adult procedural rights have been extended to juveniles charged with delinquent behaviors. Discuss some of the rights that juveniles currently are denied. Do you believe that juveniles should have all the same due process rights as adults? Why or why not? Provide support for your opinion.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should discuss some of the rights not provided to juveniles, such as the right to a jury trial, the right to a public trial, the assumption of innocence, and the protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. The student's opinion regarding juvenile rights and support for that opinion are key elements of the response.
