Juvenile Offenders in Adult Court

This is a scenario-based assignment. In this scenario, you are a consultant that has been hired by your home county’s district attorney’s office. The district attorney is new, having just been elected into office. The district attorney would like a report from you on the pros and cons of charging juvenile offenders in adult court. Your report should also provide a recommendation on whether you support the practice of charging juveniles as adults or refute it.

Your paper should be two to three pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Use terms, evidence, and concepts from class readings. Include at least three scholarly references in addition to the course textbook.
