The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has identified five significant developments that have taken place over the past decade with significant executive or legislative actions
List and define three of those five developments.
1) Transfer provisions: New transfer provisions made it easier to move juvenile offenders from the juvenile justice system to the criminal justice system.
2) Sentencing authority: New laws on sentencing gave criminal and juvenile courts the authority to use expanded sentencing options such as the blended sentence (the combination of a juvenile disposition followed by a suspended adult sentence if the former is carried out successfully) in cases involving juveniles.
3) Confidentiality changes: Modifications were made to laws containing court confidentiality provisions in order to make juvenile records and proceedings more open.
4) Victims' rights: Laws were passed that increased the role of victims of juvenile crime in the juvenile justice process.
5) Correctional programming: New correctional programs in adult and juvenile facilities were developed to handle juveniles sentenced as adults or as violent juvenile offenders.
