Question

"The Cost of Prison in Dollars and Lives" by Michael Jacobson

Answer 1

“Studies comparing the recidivism rates of youth processed in the juvenile system with those handled in the adult system indicate that youth processed in the adult system are likely to re—offend more quickly and at higher rates.”

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

"The cost of prison in dollars and lives" has been written by Michael Jackson. It focuses on the idea and the fact that adults and children are different and not the same.

So as a result of this, the way used to handle adult criminals should not be used to handle juvenile offenders. This was of treating the juvenile offenders is not effective and they re offend and commit the crime again and at a faster rate.
