This paper will address the question: Is juvenile detention really an effective rehabilitation procedure? In addressing this question, the paper will study the history of juvenile detention laws and policies in the United States. The paper will discuss prominent arguments for and against the current U.S. juvenile justice system. It will also compare U.S. juvenile justice laws with the more lauded laws of European countries, which have been cited as being more effective at rehabilitating young law breakers. The paper will suggest policy changes that can be implemented in order to ensure the current juvenile justice system becomes more effective at rehabilitating juvenile delinquents and making them more productive people in the society with higher chances of having successful futures.
