This is all the information that the professor has provided me in terms of this assignment. Prompt for paper: “The distinction between the juvenile and adult court systems should be
abolished. All cases should be handled by the same system which takes into account the age of the offender as a factor during the process.” Locate and evaluate five recent peer-reviewed articles that can be used to support
your positional argument. Follow current APA formatting. Each of your five annotated sources are worth 10 points. For each source: proper APA formatting: 3 points, sufficiency of articulation: 5 points, and spelling/grammar: 2 points

This may be a crime perpetrated by a juvenile many years ago, or a case that is still active and in current events. You will argue for one of the particular delinquency theories as the most appropriate explanation for the perpetrator’s actions.
The course materials present a number of criminological, sociological, and developmental theories that endeavor to explain delinquent behavior among juveniles. In this assignment, you will select a real-life, notorious crime committed by a juvenile. This may be a crime perpetrated by a juvenile many years ago, or a case that is still active and in current events. You will argue for one of the particular delinquency theories as the most appropriate explanation for the perpetrator’s actions.
Examples could include:
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the shooters in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre
Lee Boyd Malvo, the juvenile half of the infamous Washington, D.C., snipers in 2002
Erik Menendez, age 17, murderer of his parents, assisted by his adult brother, Joseph Menendez, in 1989
the juvenile perpetrators (Eric Rivera, Jr., age 17; and Timothy Brown, age 16) involved in the home invasion and murder of Washington Redskins star player Sean Taylor in 2007
other juvenile offenders well-known at either the national or local level may be used with the prior approval of the instructor
The paper should include the following sections:
an introduction presenting an overview of the crime, including BRIEFLY the basic facts of what happened
an analysis in which you present how one particular criminological, sociological, or developmental theory best explains the perpetrator’s actions, and why
a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of that particular theory—how it is that the theory may fall short in explaining certain aspects of the crime. In light of this, discuss what other theory or combination of theories may better account for those particular aspects of the crime
concluding thoughts summarizing your research and analysis

Background: The courts continually weigh the advantages of sending offenders to jail versus diverting offenders into treatment programs. One of these programs is the mental health diversion program.
Instead of locking up mentally ill offenders some courts now redirect these persons to community-based treatment services. If a crime was committed because of mental illness, a tailored treatment program might be more effective in treating these individuals than incarceration.
Assignment: The objective of this assignment is to evaluate the effectiveness of Mental Health Courts. Although this program may ease the workload for courts and corrections, are Mental Health Courts effective in treating offenders and preventing recidivism?
Students are to use three journal articles relating to the effectiveness of Mental Health Courts.
The submitted paper must be a minimum of five pages of 12-point font (Arial or Times New Roman only), double-spaced type, not including cover page and bibliography. Resources must be reflected in a bibliography, using APA citation rules.
Paper Formatting Requirements:
Cover Page: Include the title of the paper, your name, the class title and date of submission
Section 1: Introduction: Make an introductory statement about the topic and explain the purpose of your paper.
Section 2: Summarize the main points of the three articles, including why Mental Health Courts were created and how they are used.
Section 3: Compare and contrast the authors’ perspectives on the advantages and disadvantages of Mental Health Courts. Do the authors reach the same conclusions? How are their perspectives alike and how do they differ? Do the authors conclude that Mental Health Courts provide effective rehabilitation, reduce overall recidivism rates and are an effective use of resources or is the overall cost of these courts disproportionate to their degree of success? Provide statistics to support the authors’ findings.
Section 4: Conclusion: Provide a focused, concise conclusion based on your analysis of the articles, explaining why Mental Health Courts should or should not be used.
Reference Page List at least three journal references on a separate page and provide complete citations in accordance with the APA style manual.
