Abstract

The first juvenile court was founded in 1899 with the focus on rehabilitation of a juvenile offender as opposed to punishment in adult court. Determining culpability and disposition for adolescents has become a source of much discussion. With serious crimes, juvenile delinquents may be transferred from juvenile court to adult criminal court; this practice became more prevalent in the past century. However, growing knowledge of adolescent development has mitigated the culpability of youth offenders and resulted in judicial decisions influential to juvenile dispositions.

摘要

第一家少年法庭成立于1899年，其重点是对少年罪犯的改造，而非成人法庭中的惩罚。确定青少年的罪责和处置方式已成为诸多讨论的一个源头。对于严重罪行，少年犯可能会从少年法庭移送至成人刑事法庭；这种做法在过去一个世纪中变得更为普遍。然而，对青少年发育的了解不断增加，减轻了青少年罪犯的罪责，并产生了对少年处置方式有影响的司法判决。
