There is no single nationwide juvenile court system; there are 51 state systems (including the District of Columbia)

There is no single nationwide juvenile court system; there are 51 state systems (including the District of Columbia). Therefore, the purpose and scope of juvenile courts can vary. Please review the State Juvenile Justice Profiles and compare at least 2 states with the Purpose Clause of your home state (for a total of 3). Next, review the three (3) states you compared with the Data Snapshot of Youth Incarceration. Do you see any parallels in the purpose clauses and the number of young people incarcerated? What are your thoughts? Textbook provided
