Abstract
This article argues that the growing trend toward tough penalties in corrections is not the solution to juvenile violence. Rather, the policy to increased violence should take account of research and common sense, which suggests a focus on the home and community. Children are forced to become independent and competitive too soon. Instead, emphasis should be placed on the process, not the product. We need to support mentoring programs; community schools with facilities available after hours; family preservation programs; individual and family counseling services; substance abuse counseling and treatment; and continuing education programs. Also important is interagency cooperation rather than competition. (Abstract Adapted from Source: The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 2000.
