Compare and contrast adult sentencing with juvenile sentencing. In what ways has "blended sentencing" affected each of these systems?

What will be an ideal response?


Adult sentencing is to accomplish one of the four goals and objectives of sentencing.
Juvenile sentencing is based on the concept of parens patriae (the state is parent)
and uses different terminology than the adult criminal justice system. In the juvenile
system, the court functions as a parent. "Blended sentencing" has affected each of
these systems by developing a middle ground between the adult and juvenile
sentencing systems.
