What fueled the crisis in juvenile reformatories during the late nineteenth century?
What will be an ideal response?
Juvenile cases were fairly rare in the founding years of the United States. State courts
preferred to let parents or local officials handle juvenile offenders. However, as industrialism
and immigration gave rise to swelling populations in cities such as New York and Philadelphia, the public began to see a problem with the "disorderly conduct" of children that was not being contained by parents. As a result, young offenders found themselves being processed by a criminal justice system that often failed to distinguish whether the young offender's behavior was motivated by criminal intent or poverty and need.
