In Defense of Juvenile Court. Debate.
Kopecky, Frank
Update on Law-Related Education, v18 n1 p33-36 Win 1994
Describes the early history of the juvenile court system and ties it to the reforms of the U.S. Progressive Era. Examines the arguments of those who call for the abolition of juvenile courts. Concludes that much of the criticism is misplaced and that efforts should be made to make juvenile courts work rather than abolish them. (CFR)
