This chapter provides an overview of the history and development of the United States juvenile justice system to contextualize the current laws and policies for juveniles. Social reformers in the nineteenth century advocated ending the practices of treating children as adults and replacing them with rehabilitation programs, eventually leading to the first Juvenile Court in 1899. This chapter covers the shift from this rehabilitative perspective toward a punitive approach to juvenile justice in the 1990s, the effects this approach had on the education system, and the implications for minority youth and students with disabilities. The chapter concludes with a focus on evidence-based practices and “children are different” perspectives.

摘要

This chapter provides an overview of the history and development of the United States juvenile justice system to contextualize the current laws and policies for juveniles. Social reformers in the nineteenth century advocated ending the practices of treating children as adults and replacing them with rehabilitation programs, eventually leading to the first Juvenile Court in 1899. This chapter covers the shift from this rehabilitative perspective toward a punitive approach to juvenile justice in the 1990s, the effects this approach had on the education system, and the implications for minority youth and students with disabilities. The chapter concludes with a focus on evidence-based practices and “children are different” perspectives.
