1 Rehabilitation as Form of Punishment for Juvenile Offenders: Annotated Bibliography Melissa Kistler University of Arizona Global College CRJ 301: Juvenile Justice Dr. E. 10/12/2023

2 Rehabilitation as Form of Punishment for Juvenile Offenders: Annotated Bibliography Baumhauer, J. & Benedick, E. (2018) Cruel and Unusual Punishment in Juvenile Sentencing Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online 46 (4) 543-546 Cruel and Unusual Punishment in Juvenile Sentencing | Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law (jaapl.org) The authors of this article discuss two 16-year-old juveniles sentenced to 50-plus years to life in prison for the charges of rape, sodomy, forcible oral copulation, and kidnapping. The rulings were reviewed and eventually reversed due to their eighth Amendment right being violated. When the cases were appealed it was decided that sentencing was unfair as it does not give them a chance at parole until past their life expectancy. The authors also elaborate on the actions of these juveniles against the two female juveniles and refer to different cases, such as Graham and Caballero that explain the reasons for the sentences being reversed even though the crime was a violent crime. The article also points out the reason that the court frowns upon life without in prison without parole for juveniles is because they lack the development of the brain until later in life. This article will help me show that juveniles need rehabilitation instead of confinement for punishment. Benekos, P.J & Marlo, A.V. (2019) A Decade of Change: Roper V. Simmons, Defending Childhood and Juvenile Justice. Criminal Justice Policy Review 30 (1) 102-127 https://doi.org/101177/0887403416648734

3 This source describes the last decade of juvenile justice and different cases, including Roper V. Simmons, Graham V. Florida and Miller V. Alabama. The authors discuss the two developments by the Supreme Court and explains the reasons that we should remove harsh punishment for juveniles. It shows that the Court’s ruling states that children are people too and they should be treated differently than adults when it comes to court sentencing and proceedings. The authors do a great job of presenting statistics of the states that still allow the use of Juvenile Life Without Parole and which states do not allow this form of punishment. The article also discusses the Convention of the Rights of Children (CRC), and how they ensure the protection of the children and that they have their best interest in mind. The last part of the article discusses how Exposed to Violence (EtV) affects these children and what the data looks like for children ages one to seventeen who have been exposed violence. It shows that these children have a higher rate of committing similar crimes and they also have a greater chance of developing mental and emotional disorders. This article will show help me show that putting a juvenile in prison is causing long term mental issues on top of the possible mental issues they already have. Listwam, S.J. (2013) Introduction to Juvenile Justice (2 nd Edition) [Electronic Version] https://content.uagc.edu/books/Johnson.5439.18.1 The author discusses the difference in treatment and punishment of juveniles. He talks about the effects of restorative justice such as probation and how this type of justice is more positive than the option of incarceration. The book also discusses treatment options for juveniles that will help them to establish the best way to help them change for the better and to be better citizens. He also discusses the role of the probation officer as well as how effective probation is and the goals of probation.

4 The article discusses assessments that show how treatment has progressed and to show better outcomes for rehabilitation. The author also discusses the environment and how it can be an obstacle towards treatment and the stages of change. This article will help in my final paper by showing that rehabilitation is a better option than incarceration for juveniles. Mendel, R. (2023) Why Youth Incarceration Fails: An Updated Review of the Evidence The Sentencing Project https://www.sentencingproject.org/why-youth-incarceration-fails-an- updated-review-of-the-evidence The author of this article talks about how incarcerating youth has negative consequences on a youth’s physical and mental health. It also affects their educational and career success and often exposes them to physical and mental abuse. The article also discusses how putting juveniles in prison does not improve public safety and is often based on racial disparities. The author lists recommendations that can be used to reduce confinement. The article also discusses how the United States continues to incarcerate as many juveniles as other countries especially African Americans and other youth of color. The report shows that incarceration does not reduce delinquent behavior and subjects the juveniles to maltreatment. The author also lists the other reasons for failure and alternatives to confinement of juveniles. This article will help my final paper show that putting a juvenile in prison only hurts them in the long run and that rehabilitation would be the better alternative. Underwood, L.A. & Washington, A. (2016) Mental Illness and Juvenile Offenders International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 13 (2) 228 https://doi.org/10.3390/IJerp13020228

5 The article discusses how the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 was started with the goal of diverting youth from becoming criminals later in life. He discussed how they used community-based services instead of large institutions. Before the 1980’s, juveniles were considered able to be rehabilitated but due to violent crimes being on the rise, the main goal became to protect the community. Crime began to rise during the 1980s to the 1990s which is why punishment became more important than rehabilitation and made punishment through the adult criminal court easier. The author also discusses how in the 1960’s there were only 1,000 cases of juvenile crime processed daily but by 2013 there were 2900 cases daily. This article will help me show that while there are a small number of juveniles that need incarceration there are more that need rehabilitation. This will happen because the author shows 50-75 percent of the 2 million youth that come into the juvenile justice system meets a criteria for mental health disorders and that 40 to 80 percent of those incarcerated are diagnosed with at least one mental illness. The author shows that 2/3 of these are males while ¾ are females and that one out of 10 will meet the criteria of have a substance abuse disorder.
