Describe the issue:
The issue is on how much money it cost to house juvenile compare to housing adults in prison and should 17 years be treated as juvenile or adults. A special council wants to know where the money is going. According to (Klein, 2012) “States across the country including Georgia are facing very high per child costs in the juvenile system.” The legislature passed a bill in December of 2013 on how the local government would afford the cost on housing the juvenile. If you are 17 or older, you are an adult, subject to the adult justice system this is what the special council policy will be speaking with the state legislature.
Is this policy a regulatory or legislature-initiated policy?
This policy would be regulatory policy because it allows the government’s capability to pass laws and sanction guidelines. The juvenile justice is mainly a state and local obligation; the legislature government can and should make a vital influence. Frequently, states and local want the financial capitals and technical know-how to improve their juvenile justice system and they have long looked to legislature for guidance. “A regulatory policy allows the government to play a vital part in setting standards, conducting and publicizing research on best practices, and providing capital to help states and local develop their juvenile system (Casey, 2009).”
