As you have learned through the Written Lecture and the Reading Assignment, juvenile justice is an intricate, yet delicate, system. There is much room for interpretation in determining the youthful or adult status of an offender, as well as the punishment for each offender.
For this case study, read the four cases named above.
After reading all of the cases, choose only one and answer the four questions listed below. Your answers should be in complete sentences and in paragraph form. Each answer should be well developed and at least 100 words in length. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and be listed in APA format.
At the top of the page, please name which case you chose.
1. In the case you selected, was the subject tried as an adult or as a juvenile? How was the status determined? Do you agree with this decision? Why, or why not?
2. Did the defendant receive rehabilitation or punishment? Describe their resulting circumstances in detail. Was their treatment/punishment effective? What were the results?
3. Given the details, if you were the parole officer working the case, what outcome would you have suggested? What specific details of the case lead you to this decision?
4. In your opinion, (given the details of the case) was the accused a victim of circumstance, or did he make a deliberate choice to follow a criminal path? Give specific examples to back your claim.

Your evaluation should also include what was done well in this interview and why, and what would you have done differently and why.

Now, assume the person in this article is out on probation, and you must conduct a motivational interview using this information and the key points of motivational interviewing. Create your own transcript, with you as the interviewer, and either have a friend or family member role play the part of the interviewee or make the responses up yourself. Provide your complete transcripts. You may create whatever facts you feel are necessary. Which theories were prevalent in this exercise? What was your ultimate goal with these questions, and how were each of your questions geared toward your ultimate goal?
