Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: American’s reacted emotionally to crime during the pioneer years of the juvenile justice system, and continue to react emotionally to crime even though the crime rates have been at a decrease for over a decade, juveniles continue to be constructed as criminals by being sentenced to adult prisons. What are the real reasons or major factors behind the changing focus of the juvenile justice system that allows juveniles to be transferred to the adult system? What was the genuine agenda behind the changing focus of the juvenile justice system that lead to the increased number of juvenile transfers to adult courts, besides the increase in crime in the late 80’s to mid 90’s that lead to a moral panic that contributed to harsher sentencing in the justice system? Juvenile waivers to adult court are problematic particulary because a large number of juvenile transfers are not for violent offenses (Strom 2000). A large percentage of juveniles are transferred to the adult system are transferred simply because they have multiple non-violent felonies, consequently some of these cases can be handled by the juvenile justice system or social services (Strom 2000). This research attempts to address the real reasons behind the waivers. Juveniles should be housed in the juvenile facilities if they are not terribly violent when ever possible. The emotional impact that juveniles experience while serving time in an adult facility is damaging, but especially damaging to those juveniles who clearly do not belong there.
