Should Juveniles Be Tried as Adults?

Is a crime the same if a minor perpetrates it? What factors might distinguish a child’s actions from an adult’s? What role does brain development play in crime and sentencing? Can juveniles be rehabilitated? Why are minority youth disproportionately imprisoned? This anthology wades into these difficult questions and other relevant conversations taking place about juvenile crime. Readers will learn about the current thinking and policy initiatives in this controversial field in easy-to-understand essays.
