Discuss your opinion on juvenile delinquency in the present-day context, substantiating it with examples and reasons.
In the first response, include the following points:
• How have changes-brought about by the due process revolution, tougher crime policies, and restorative justice-in the doctrine of parens patriae affected juvenile justice?
• Do you agree that the court needs to act as the "benevolent parent" of a juvenile? Why or why not? Under what circumstances, if any, is it justified to waive sending a juvenile to adult criminal court?
• How do you think society should react to juvenile delinquency?
