Research the juvenile justice system of a foreign country. Look for legislation that applies specifically to minors, particularly those that establish status crimes as well as those that distinguish how juveniles are handled differently by the justice system. Be sure to examine if there is a separate court system for youths, and what sort of sanctions are employed for their offenses. Compare your findings with how youth crime is addressed in the United States and evaluate which you feel is more effective in addressing juvenile delinquency.
You are to prepare a 5 page research paper regarding what you learned. Be sure to provide an overview of how your selected nation handles juvenile justice, compare it to the US system, and provide an evaluation of its efficacy. Please use APA format when writing your paper including a title page, abstract and bibliography. You are to use a minimum of three resources for your paper.
