Abstract

In the 1960s and 1970s dissatisfaction with the administration of juvenile justice led to a reform movement which advocated “diversion, deinstitutionalization,” and the decriminalization of status offenses as strategies to reduce the harmfulness of official contacts. This paper argues not only that these reforms have not been successfully implemented, but also that the traditional system has been maintained and extended. Explanations for the failure of these reforms are offered and a new direction is suggested.
