When looking at the relationship between social justice and juvenile justice, there are two overarching concepts when addressing juvenile delinquency: treatment and punishment. These two concepts have driven a cycle of changes in the juvenile justice system over the years. Your task is to support your premise that your state or city should implement a philosophy of treatment for juvenile offenders, punishment, or a combination of the two (i.e., treatment and punishment) for a specific crime or criminal justice issue identified in your paper. In your paper,

• Explain the differences between the treatment and punishment concepts.
• Examine types of treatment versus types of punishment for juvenile crimes.
• Build the case for which one (i.e., treatment, punishment, or combination of both) you believe has the stronger position based on your research and the specific juvenile crime to which you will apply the concepts of treatment and punishment. The crime you choose can be violent (e.g., homicide, sexual assault, etc.) or non-violent (e.g., drug possession or sales, theft, etc.).
• Select your city (or state) and one other jurisdiction in the United States.
  • Identify the prevailing thought in your city (or state) as well as the other jurisdiction you chose (i.e., treatment, punishment, or a combination).
• Analyze which of the two jurisdictions has lower recidivism rates.
  • Identify whether the recidivism rate is the best indicator of success or failure of treatment versus punishment philosophy.
  • Explain why or why not.
• Examine scholarly research on the most effective strategies for reducing juvenile crime rates.
  • Identify which strategy or combination of strategies the research appears to support.
  • Identify whether it is based on type of crime.
  • Explain whether a given strategy works best depending upon the nature of the crime (i.e., violent vs. non-violent).
• Support which juvenile justice intervention strategy would be most effective to counter the crime or criminal justice issue based on your research.
• Summarize which concept (i.e., treatment, punishment, or combination) best supports the overarching concept of social justice.

   Your supervising attorney has asked you to formulate a set of interrogatory questions and requests for production of documents for his review, which could be served on the opposing party in a car accident case between Cain and Abel. Abel, our client, was sued by his brother. He also will need a subpoena for a third-party witness, Ms. Bunny Rabbit. Templates for each document are provided for you. The facts of the case are as follows:
   Abel Abrahamson is a client of your firm (Sinclaire and Sinclaire, 464 Main St., Blackacre, Hometown, 37373). He recently received a Summons and Complaint from the Blackacre Circuit Court in your home state, informing him that his brother, Cain, is suing him. The complaint is attached here.
   Your supervising attorney, Jake Smalls, has already served an Answer and Counterclaim on behalf of Abel, based off of a conversation with Abel, who has given him the following information:

   • He got into an accident with his brother, but his brother turned out into the lane in front of him, causing the accident.
   • He believes his brother was intoxicated at the time and was speeding.
   • He knows his brother went to the hospital, but is unsure of the extent of his injuries or medical bills. He is sure, however, that his brother is faking some of his injuries—he saw him moving furniture shortly after the accident. This also leads him to believe he could still perform his job.
   • He is furious with his brother, and wants to sue him for defamation. His brother has been going around town telling “everyone” that he intentionally ran him over because he thought Cain was going to tell Abel’s wife about an affair Abel was engaged in.
   • Abel adamantly denies hitting his brother on purpose, and is furious, as he has never engaged in an affair. Regardless, news of his brother’s statements about him have spread amongst the town, and Abel recently lost an election whereby he was running for the Blackacre School Board. Polling showed he lost the election due to the public’s concern over his moral fitness.

   Your supervising attorney has advised you that a claim for defamation requires allegations of a false statement, published (or spread to other people) causing damages.Mr. Smalls would like 06 interrogatory questions and 06 documents requested included in the interrogatories to be served on Cain. He has provided a template the firm uses for interrogatories for formatting purposes.

In a world that demands justice when the unthinkable becomes reality, there are no easy answers when that reality involves minors. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world and remains the only nation that, in rare circumstances, will sentence its juveniles to life without parole. Is it a solution? Does it work? Do we care?”

Cordero (2012) quotes a report that states, “no state in the hemisphere is more important to U.S. security than Mexico, which is fighting for its life against a widespread criminal insurgency.” What you think the author means by “fighting for its life?” and to what level, does the United States interact with Mexican governmental functions? 250-300 Words.
