    Associations between drug and alcohol use and juvenile criminal activities have been a well-known fact, that’s often thought of as a correlation. “The estimated prevalence of substance abuse disorder and juvenile offending approaches 67% across studies in justice settings” (Liddle, 2014). Whether the alcohol and other drug (AOD) use led them to the criminal activity or AOD will be an issue for the juvenile offender once they are out of the justice system. Questions form at this transition stage for the adolescent on whether or not that offender will return to their AOD use, as well as recidivate back into the juvenile justice system. Recidivism meaning a relapse into their previous behavior, especially criminal behavior.…

    In Tennessee, a juvenile can be transferred from juvenile court to adult court after a petition is filed alleging delinquency based on conduct that is a crime under Tennessee law, local ordinances, or the Court. A hearing is held to determine if the child is sixteen years of age at the time of the alleged crime or if the child is less than sixteen years old. If the child is less than sixteen years old, then for the transfer hearing to move forward the child has to be charged with a serious offense. Those crimes include "first-degree murder, second-degree murder, rape, aggravated rape, rape of a child, aggravated robbery, especially aggravated robbery, kidnapping, aggravated kidnapping or especially aggravated kidnapping or an attempt to commit…

    Over the past years, scholars and courts have studied the recidivism of young offenders whom have been convicted as adults. As prosecutions of young offenders continue to increase within the adult court system, many argue whether programs are being used properly to reintroduce repeat offenders back into society. Loughran, put the juvenile process in perspective with his statement, “theoretical intent of broader transfer provisions was clear (sufficient retribution for serious criminal behavior, deterrence through strengthened sanctioning and penalties), there has been only limited definitive empirical evidence regarding the effects of the transfer on the future…

    Juvenile Delinquency

    Juvenile Delinquency is the participation of illegal behavior by a minor who falls under a statutory age limit. A delinquent is a minor who commits a crime or a status offense. A status offense is conduct that is illegal only because the child is under age i.e. smoking cigarettes (Senna 10, 20). The cases of Eric Smith, Lionel Tate, and an unidentified NJ child are similar only because, they are guilty of killing another child, but the Criminal Justice System treated and punished them very differently. In August 1993 in Savona, New York 13 year old Eric Smith killed 4 year old Derrick Robie. Smith lured Robie into the woods and strangled, beat with large rocks, and sodomized Robie. Smith was questioned by police and kept changing some details in his story. This made police believe that he knew more about the case than he was telling them. Smith confessed to his parents ' that he killed Robie. Smiths ' parents took him to the police. They didn 't consult with an attorney. Smith confessed to police that he killed Robie and was charged with second degree murder. The prosecutor didn 't offer Smith any plea deals. Under NY State Law defendants ' that were 13 at the time of the crime can be tried and sentenced as adults '. The prosecutor had the discretion to try Smith as a juvenile, but instead chose to try him as an adult. As a young child Smith displayed anger problems. He would throw tantrums ' and bang his head on the floor. Smith was a firebug and would kill small animals. He would hit his siblings and would punch things to let out his anger. In school Smith had a learning disability, speech problems and was left back. He was bullied a lot and it affected his self esteem. He had a very low self esteem. Smith 's mother while pregnant with him took tridione to control her epileptic seizures. Tridione can cause birth defects and may have caused physical and developmental defects in Eric. Smith 's attorney said he suffered from a mental disease called intermittent…

    Adolescent Offenders” by Edward P. Mulvey, Carol A. Schubert, and Laurie Chassin, substance use and delinquency are strongly linked together. Studies of youth in juvenile court demonstrate that a majority of court-involved adolescents have recently used illegal substances that are more serious, and frequent adolescent offenders have used more substances. These offenders are more likely to be diagnosed of having a substance use disorder. The issue of when and how individuals develop these occurring patterns of substance use and illegal activity is less clear. Some of the same factors that put an individual at risk for involvement in criminality also put that individual at risk for substance use problems. Parental substance use disorders, poor parenting, violent family environments, and factors such as sensation seeking and lack of behavioral inhibition place an adolescent at higher risk of using drugs and alcohol and engaging in illegal acts.…

These children are subjected to individual risks as they commit various offenses such as addiction to drugs, theft, robbery, use of violence against their peers and the like. Thus, society reprimands them and makes way to get rid of them, forgetting that they are still children who are in need of proper guidance and attention. It is a challenged to everyone to reclaim these children and bring them to decent homes where they will only think about good life waiting ahead of them.…
