Judging Children as Children: A Proposal for a Juvenile Justice System

The book advocates for increased judicial discretion in the sentencing of minors, emphasizing the need for a more nuanced understanding of children's circumstances and development.

By exploring case studies and legal precedents, the author presents a compelling case for reform, aiming to foster a justice system that prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment for youth.
