Should Juvenile Delinquency Be Abolished?

McCarthy, Francis Barry

Crime and Delinquency, 23, 2, 196-203, Apr 77

Delinquency jurisdiction should be removed from juvenile courts and be allowed to revert to criminal courts, where interests which are highly valued in our society can be protected more fully.
