Media Influence
Popular explanations of juvenile crime often rest on ideas about the corrupting influence of television, movies, music videos, video games, rap/hip hop music, or the latest scapegoat du jour, computer games like Doom or Quake. The fact is that TV is much more pervasive, and has become the de facto babysitter in many homes MORE...
 Parental Accountability Laws
Also called Parental Duty Laws, a number of states have experimented with subjecting the parents of children to arrest. Florida, for example, imposes a 5-year sentence on parents of children who find and use guns left around the house... MORE
 Waivers of Jurisdiction
Waivers of jurisdiction transfer a case from juvenile to adult court. The effect is to deny some offenders the rights and protections that have evolved in juvenile law. All states provide for some type of waiver mechanism, and most set a lower age limit (13 and 14 in a handful of states MORE...
Social Morality
It has become prevalent, especially among the slacker generations, GenX and Gen13, to join the old WWII generation in self-righteous, totally gratuitous Sixties-bashing, as if all our social problems, especially our declining social morality, started with the free-for-all, "any thing goes" hippie movement of the 1960s MORE...
JUVENILE CORRECTIONS
The total number of juveniles in custody for the U.S. is about 42,000. Most of these youth are held in semisecure facilities (such as youth centers or training schools) designed to look less like prisons and more like high schools MORE...

Featured Programs

Abundant Life Academy

Abundant Life Academy is one of a very few powerful Christian boarding schools designed exclusively for unmotivated gifted troubled teens … teens that are now rejecting their Christian heritage, rebelling against parental authority, looking for acceptance in the wrong places, and to whom academic pursuit is no longer a part of their vision. Abundant Life Academy is a school for troubled teens that have a great deal of academic potential and a good heart, yet they are currently off track, lost, and wandering in the desert (selfish, ungrateful, and lazy)... in need of immediate infusion of God's precious Spirit and a restored relationship with Jesus Christ (selfless, thankful, and motivated to excel). Abundant Life Academy is an early intervention-alternative program for troubled teens that was created to prevent good Christian kids from falling prey to a persuasive society. To contact go to www.abundantlifeacademy.com or call Wendy Riddle 505-391-8078.

Scared Straight Programs
Jails and detention centers are places that mix juveniles and adults together who are both non-adjudicated and/or awaiting trial. Schall v. Martin (1984) allows preventive detention under some circumstances. Many youth placed in this status are only guilty of minor violations. They are troubled youth or status offenders. They are usually released after only a few days, but victimization or suicide may MORE...

The Environment
Unless we are willing to believe that testosterone (a male stimulation-seeking hormone) causes crime, the only feasible explanations left are environmental ones. The heredity-environment debate in explaining juvenile crime is shaped by divided opinions about what factors are really important: genetic tendencies MORE...

 Family Factors
One of the most reliable indicators of juvenile crime is the proportion of fatherless children. The primary role of fathers in our society is to provide economic stability, act as role models, and alleviate the stress of mothers.

Approaches to the problem generally fall into two camps: the public health solution, and the law enforcement solution. Advocates of the public health approach tend to see juveniles today as victims of an anti-youth culture. The problem is not just parents failing children, but a whole attitude among adult society that is increasingly hostile, angry, and punishing toward youth. It's also not just poverty
