“Juveniles’ Rights to Due Process”

Using what you’ve learned this week, respond to the following prompts in your post:

• Select two (2) U.S. Supreme Court decisions that impacted the manner in which the juvenile justice system handles juvenile delinquency. Next, describe the significant manner in which the court rulings in juvenile delinquency cases have altered the judicial system’s treatment of juveniles as compared to the treatment of adults. Justify your response.
• If a 17-year-old boy, who is a senior in high school, has consensual sex with a 15-year-old girl in high school he can be charged with Rape in the 2nd degree and have to register as a sex offender for ten years. Based on this scenario, debate whether or not you believe this is a just sanction? Provide support for your response.

 

Please respond to this fellow student for Juvenile delinquency :

 

 

Class/Professor,

Gideon vs. Wainwright – even juveniles have the right to an attorney at any proceeding. This is same for adult and juveniles, everyone has right to attorney. only difference is children have a guardian ad litem present to decide whats best for child.

McKeiver vs, Pennsylvania- juveniles do not have right to jury trial unless convicted as an adult.  Adults do have right to jury trial. 

The laws are different in each state with what is rape and isnt. But i do believe in every state that falls under it…just the penalties are different. I live in WV and its is 

First-degree sexual assault for a person age 14 or older to have sexual intercourse with a person age 11 or younger

Third-degree sexual assault for a person age 16 or older to have sexual intercourse with a person under age 16 and at least four years younger than the actor
