In correlating the materials, identify the various aspects of the juvenile justice system. This can include: who the juveniles identified in the article are (characteristics), the type of offenses they committed (minor versus serious) and how where they addressed by the juvenile justice system (juvenile or transferred to adult courts). Indicate if the decisions made benefited the juveniles and how so? In addition, you may also have to anticipate a potential outcome of the incident, if any (what should be the punishment) for the juvenile(s) transgression(s) and how you think it might be effective.
