PART 1) Our text examines juvenile justice models in four countries: New Zealand, Italy, China, and England & Wales. These countries fall on a continuum which spans from a Welfare Model (as seen in New Zealand) to a Justice Model (as seen in England & Wales). Upon reviewing the reading for this week, identify where you think the United States falls on the Juvenile Justice Continuum and answer the following questions: 1) what model of Juvenile Justice is most effective in reducing recidivism and rehabilitating offenders, and 2) what lessons can the American Juvenile Justice system learn from other countries to become more effective?
PART 2) When you complete the first part, my second part can be unlocked. The second part is to reply to my classmate’s post.
