What do you think juvenile courts will be like in 20 or 30 years? Will they become more like adult courts, or will they retain significant differences?
What will be an ideal response?
Recent changes to the juvenile court system include increased sanctions, more accountability, and less privacy. These changes reflect more similarities to that of the adult system and are a departure from the juvenile's philosophy of being non-punitive and rehabilitative.
However, the adult system is currently making changes in the development of specialized courts, which tend to reflect more of the original intent of juvenile courts. That is, specialized adult courts are trying to be problem-solving-oriented and less of a processing system. This change in the adult system could in turn re-influence the juvenile system to return to the original intentions.
