    is a need to view juvenile crime and punishment differently than adult crime and punishment. The reason for this is because some research has shown that recidivism rates among juvenile parolees are very high. It can range anywhere from fifty five percent to seventy five percent (Krisberg‚ Austin‚ and Steele‚ 1991).
