STRUCKMEYER, Justice
(concurring).
I express considerable doubt that the legislature intended to make a distinction between the power of the superior court in handling male and female juvenile offenders, and I think the distinction made by the majority is extremely tenuous. However, it is in the end a legislative matter. I am willing to concur ip the knowledge that if this decision does not express the intention of the legislature, a change can readily be made. The Constitution of Arizona, by Article VI, § 15, A.R.S., provides: “The powers of the judges to control such children shall be as provided by law.”
