juvenile justice is an intricate, yet delicate, system. There is much room for interpretation in determining the youthful or adult status of an offender, as well as the punishment for each offender.
After reading all of the provided case, answer the four questions listed below. Your answers should be in
complete sentences and in paragraph form. Each answer should be well developed and at least 100 words in length. All
sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and be listed in APA format.

1. In the case you selected, was the subject tried as an adult or as a juvenile? How was the status determined? Do you agree with this decision? Why, or why not?
2. Did the defendant receive rehabilitation or punishment? Describe their resulting circumstances in detail. Was their treatment/punishment effective? What were the results?
3. Given the details, if you were the parole officer working the case, what outcome would you have suggested? What specific details of the case lead you to this decision?
4. In your opinion, (given the details of the case) was the accused a victim of circumstance, or did he make a deliberate choice to follow a criminal path? Give specific examples to back your claim.
