Several landmark Supreme Court rulings that address the way the criminal justice system interacts with juveniles were presented in the lesson this week. In your initial response, select the Supreme Court ruling that you believe had the biggest impact on the way law enforcement and courts deal with juvenile offenders. Begin by briefly explaining the premise of the case that led to the ruling, what the Supreme Court decided, and how the ruling impacts interactions with juvenile offenders.
In your response posts to classmates, evaluate the Supreme Court ruling selected by the classmate. If you agree with the classmate that it had the biggest impact, provide additional points to support selecting this case over others that have occurred. If you disagree, respectfully explain why you believe a different Supreme Court ruling had a bigger impact on the way law enforcement and courts deal with juvenile offenders.
