Course requires computer literacy.
This course addresses the foundations of the development of our juvenile justice system, the appropriateness of its adaptation to patterns of culture at the turn of the millennium, and the nature of the State's interest in its young. We will examine the juveniles' perspective, the perspective of those responsible for intervention and prevention, the extent to which these perspectives are interdependent, and the possibilities for growth in our social bonds with youth.
