Juvenile Waiver

Literature Review on Criminal Justice: Juvenile Waiver

In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Craig Hemmens and Benjamin Steiner and Brandon L. Bang provide the following summary about the topic of Criminal Justice: Juvenile Waiver: This entry provides an overview of the history and practice of juvenile waiver. Waiver is the process by which a juvenile is transferred (or “waived”) from the jurisdiction of the juvenile court to the jurisdiction of the adult criminal court. This transfer allows for the imposition of more severe sanctions, but conflicts with the juvenile court idea that juvenile offenders should be treated differently than adult offenders.
