Because of financial cutbacks, many state programs, such as the wilderness program for juveniles, have been cut back or discontinued. Is it a good idea to let these cutbacks continue, or should the state find the funds to continue these types of programs for wayward juveniles? How can this be accomplished? Would it provide positive results?
