{"product_id":"2940013140004","title":"Juvenile Transfers to Criminal Court in the 1990's: Lessons Learned From Four Studies","description":"In recent years, a growing number of States have modified their laws to facilitate\u003cbr\u003ethe transfer of certain categories of juveniles from the jurisdiction of juvenile\u003cbr\u003ecourts to the jurisdiction of adult criminal courts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Summary describes four studies of juvenile transfers to adult criminal\u003cbr\u003ecourt conducted for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention\u003cbr\u003eby the National Center for Juvenile Justice. Two of the studies (South Carolina and Utah) reviewed all instances in which a prosecutor requested a judicial waiver to transfer the jurisdiction of the case to adult criminal court. Another study (Pennsylvania) compared the characteristics of juveniles waived in 1994 with their counterparts in 1986. The final study (also Pennsylvania) explored the decisionmaking process for cases with juvenile defendants originating in adult criminal court under new “statutory exclusion” legislation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Summary features an overview of each of the four studies, and the key\u003cbr\u003efindings are outlined across study lines. Background on transfer mechanisms,\u003cbr\u003epast transfer research, and study methodology is also provided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn sum, the information provided in these pages should enhance our understanding of the transfer of juvenile offenders to adult criminal court and its impact on recidivism and justice system decisionmaking.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069758652656,"sku":"2940013140004","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013140004_p0.jpg?v=1763577111","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013140004","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
