This chapter provides an overview of the juvenile justice system, as well as descriptions of alternative education settings, and offers suggestions for counselors who work with students who are involved with that system. Students who are involved with the juvenile justice system face a number of risks that impact them at school, including trauma, comorbid psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, learning disabilities, and underachievement. Counselors working with this group of students need to take time to establish effective rapport and develop a treatment plan that takes into account the complexities of these students’ lives. Specific counseling strategies discussed include solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy dialectical behavior therapy motivational interviewing (MI), multisystemic therapy and group counseling.

<p>Turkish juvenile justice system constitutes special and important place in justice system due to its focal point to the juvenile and juvenile rights. As it is in the world, the main purpose of the juvenile justice system in Turkey is not only to handle the judicial process, but also to get the juveniles out of the system at lower costs as possible and to make them continue their lives without having any problems. Besides the policies and implications carried out in the juvenile justice system in the name of struggling with juvenile delinquency, this study emphasizes the importance of crime prevention strategies out of the juvenile justice system. Within this frame, it is emphasized the necessity of all related institutions working together in a harmony after analyzing the Turkish juvenile justice system. Another important point that this study tries to emphasize is that policies in the scope of the juvenile justice system were not created based on the idea of preventing crime committing again, rather based on punishment, compensation, and public protection. Therefore, it is recommended to review the policies and to emphasize the necessity of functional and integrated juvenile justice system.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>Odak noktasında çocuk ve çocuk haklarının olması sebebiyle Türk Çocuk Adalet Sistemi (TÇAS), adalet sisteminin çok özel ve önemli bir alanını oluşturmaktadır. Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de çocuk ceza adalet sisteminin temel amacı sadece çocuğun içinde bulunduğu adli durumla ilgili adil bir işlem tesis etmek değil aynı zamanda çocuğun bu zorlayıcı süreçten en az zararla çıkmasını sağlamak ve yetişkin bir birey olarak olabildiğince sorunsuz hayatlarına devam etmelerini sağlamaktır. Çocuk suçluluğu ile daha etkin mücadele edilmesi noktasında ceza adalet sistemi içerisindeki politika ve uygulamaların yanı sıra bu sistemin dışında ki suç önleme stratejilerinin de mutlaka ele alınması gerektiğinden haraketle bu çalışmada Türk çocuk ceza adalet sistemi üzerinde kapsamlı bir analiz yapılarak Türk çocuk adalet sisteminde yer alan tüm kurum ve kuruluşların uyum ve eşgüdümlü şekilde çalışması gerektiği üzerinde durulmaktadır. Üzerinde durulan diğer önemli bir husus ta çocuk ceza adalet sistemi içerisinde üretilen politikaların suçun tekrarının önlenmesine yönelik esaslı bir düşünce tarzından ziyade genelde cezalandırma, geleneksel caydırıcılık, etkisiz hale getirme, iyileştirme, kamunun korunması ve zararın tazmini temeline dayanmakta olduğu tezinden hareketle bu konudaki politikaların gözden geçirilerek işlevsel ve bütüncül bir sistemin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktır.</p>

Chapter 9 discusses legal socialization within the juvenile justice system. Adolescence is a developmental period during which many young people have contact with legal authorities, primarily the police. These contacts involve high levels of discretion for law enforcement, and studies show the manner in which that discretion is exercised has strong consequences for the subsequent orientations that adolescents have toward the law as well as their later law-related behavior. In particular, adolescents react to how fairly the authorities treat them. Juvenile justice is a particularly contentious area of policy with many punitive practices advocated in spite of evidence that they do not build legitimacy or reduce crime. On the other hand, experiencing justice is shown to promote legitimacy and lower offending.

This chapter describes the arc of the book’s narrative and includes a brief description of each chapter. The overarching argument—that notions of race, childhood, and rehabilitation intersected with the new apparatus of Cook County Juvenile Justice System, and shaped the evolution of juvenile justice in Illinois—is introduced with a case study about a poor migrant boy. His experience foreshadowed the fate of many African American children in Chicago’s juvenile justice system.

Harmful Effects

LGBTQ youth’s involvement with the juvenile justice system occurs in the context of family conflict, parental rejection of homosexuality, trauma, and hostility at school and in the community. As they run away from abuse, LGBTQ youth are more likely to commit survival crimes and get arrested for offenses related to homelessness. This chapter focuses on the experiences of lesbian, bisexual, queer, and gender-nonconforming girls in juvenile justice settings and examines how biases about gender and sexual orientation affect court decisions and correctional practices. Lack of awareness and training about LGBTQ issues compounds the harmful effects of homophobia, transphobia, and racism and adversely impacts lesbian, queer, and gender-nonconforming girls’ rights to due process, as well as their access to appropriate health care services. This chapter makes recommendations for LGBTQ-affirming practices in juvenile justice settings.

This chapter presents information and strategies for counselors who work with students who are living in foster care. Students in foster care have experienced a series of significant negative life events that put them at great risk for mental health and academic difficulties that can persist into adulthood. Counselors working with students in foster care can help by using strategies that promote empowerment and self-determination and that focus on building students’ strengths and social support systems. The chapter discusses specific counseling strategies such as solution-focused brief therapy, trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Intervention for Trauma in Schools. It also presents suggestions for planning for the time when students make the transition from adolescence to adulthood and thus leave the foster care system.

This book explores the history of juvenile justice and the day industrial school movement in 19th-century Scotland. How did Scotland’s criminal justice system respond to marginalised street children who found themselves on the wrong side of the law, often for simple vagrancy or other minor offences? The book examines the historical criminalisation of Scotland’s Victorian children, as well as revealing the history and early success of the Scottish day industrial school movement - a philanthropic response to juvenile offending hailed as 'magic' in Charles Dickens’s Household Words. With case studies ranging from police courts to the High Court of Justiciary, the book offers a lively account of the way children experienced Scotland’s early juvenile justice system.

Over Time

The American juvenile justice system is an often-misunderstood component of our justice system. Developed in the late 1800s, the juvenile justice system was designed to be distinct from the adult criminal justice system. This was based, in part, on the idea that youth offenders were particularly malleable and would be more responsive than adults to individualized treatment efforts. Since its inception, the mission of the juvenile justice system has emphasized discretion and rehabilitation. Yet throughout history there have been calls for the juvenile justice system to take on a mission and form similar to that of the adult criminal justice system. The readings highlighted here focus on the history and mission of the juvenile justice system, the function of key juvenile justice institutions (such as police, court, and corrections), and how the system has changed over time (alternatives and innovations).
