Juvenile Justice Articles

Criminal Justice Magazine, the quarterly publication for Criminal Justice Section members, frequently includes articles on juvenile justice issues. The articles listed below explore a wide range of issues from juvenile boot camps to weapons in schools and are written by experts in the field. We hope the articles will serve a dual purpose: to be used as a resource and to promote dialogue on these important juvenile justice issues.

Annual subscription to Criminal Justice magazine is free to all Criminal Justice Section members and available at a reasonable cost to non-members. Single copies can also be ordered. More information about receiving the Criminal Justice Magazine is available at the magazine information page.
