Compare and contrast how the adherents of the crime control model and proponents of the due process model of criminal justice see the future of juvenile courts

What will be an ideal response?


Adherents of the crime control model of criminal justice stress that juveniles should face more adult-like penalties. To secure that objective, juvenile courts should either be abolished or more juveniles should be transferred to the adult court for prosecution. Proponents of the due process model of criminal justice, in contrast, stress that more crime prevention programs should be directed at juveniles and juvenile courts should be less punishment-oriented.
