For this week’s assignment, you will write a 1-2 page (250-300 words) essay about juvenile confession. Be sure to address all prompts and cite your sources in APA format. This is worth 90 points, so be thorough and give your best effort.

Recent court rulings such as Yarborough v. Alvarado presented law enforcement with a real challenge: juvenile offenders must be prosecuted and treated differently from adult offenders while in custody. The handling of a juvenile during an interview and interrogation presents serious challenges and questions for a police investigator.

For this assignment, use the Internet to research and locate a case study on a juvenile confession. Summarize the case, detailing the key juvenile legal issues involved with particular attention to the admissibility of the confession.
