I'll be discussing the debate about how juvenile detention should be handled by the legal
and judicial systems. On the one hand, law enforcement may concentrate on felony offenses
while neglecting misdemeanors, or they could keep detaining young people for breaching the law
in any way. Targeting felony offenses might reduce the number of children in prison, but it will
simply lead to an increase in minor offenses. However, they risk causing a stagnation in the
number of lifelong repeat offenders if they keep locking up children on felony and misdemeanor
crimes.
Law enforcement personnel and students in my class who are pursuing degrees in
criminal justice make up the bulk of my audience. Being able to connect with my whole
audience across the United States will be my biggest obstacle, as rules are not uniform and vary
from state to state. I must thus come up with unique ideas while also making sure that the
research I use to back them is reliable.
My foremost objective in this article is to inspire people enrolled in criminal justice to
embrace positive change toward juvenile modifications for when they graduate and begin a legal
career. I also hope to inspire law enforcement personnel to think differently about how they
conduct the criminal justice system. I will need to successfully write an accurate and convincing
essay that appeals to the sentiments and intellectual way of thinking of my viewers in order to
accomplish this objective.
Below are three key factors which might help me function correctly. First, based on all
transgressions, homicides, and offenses, I will show the effects of detention centers with the use
of supporting data. Second, I'll highlight the results of locking up children for only serious
offenses like felonies. Finally, I'll offer alternatives that support and refute both views, such as
using reform programs to steer young people away from crime while pointing out how much it
would cost taxpayers to subsidize such operations worldwide.
Ani Purwati's book, "Revised Penal code Policy in the Framework of Children Contact with the
Law," which she co-authored, will support my claim regarding the differences between
emphasizing all juvenile offenses and focusing only on felonies. The writing of Purwati provides
a clear summary of the impact that law enforcement presence and intervention have on young
people. I can now distinguish between the two sides thanks to this. The article by Eli Karam,
Emma Sterrett, and Lynn Kiaer, "The Unification of Family and Group Therapy as an Option in
contrast to Infantile Jail sentences: A Quasi-Experimental Evaluation Using Parenting with Love
and Limits," will help me convincingly support my claim that reform initiatives could
significantly reduce the number of young people perpetrating both major crimes and criminal
convictions.
In order to successfully include facts into my thesis, I will only present accurate information
when necessary rather than circling about important ideas without giving my argument any room
for improvement. To further encourage countless advantages from my listeners, I will
additionally present my proof by way of a reference or an interpretation of the related studies.
