contributing factors to juveniles committing the type of crime that you’ve chosen. Provide a well reasoned
evaluation of the effectiveness of the juvenile justice system in deterring crime,
rehabilitating offenders, and providing relief to the victims of the crime addressed in the case
study. Conclude the case study with three recommendations for improving the juvenile justice
system.

Please write your paper in the APA format. As part of your research, you may refer to the course
material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least four credible, outside sources
and cite them using APA format as well. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary
sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. If you use any Study.com
lessons as sources, please also cite them in APA (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).
Primary sources are first-hand accounts such as interviews, advertisements, speeches, company
documents, statements, and press releases published by the company in question.
Secondary sources come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Management. You
may use like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Social Science Research Network to find articles from these
journals. Secondary sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain.
(Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.)
