Justice Anthony M. Kennedy proclaimed that juveniles that are convicted even of the most heinous crimes should not be treated in the same way as adults. The court back in 2005 eliminated the capital punishment for juveniles and subsequently said that they could not be imprisoned for life for crimes other than murder and their hope living outside prison must be restored. Justice Kennedy also mentioned that, “children’s diminished culpability and heightened capacity for change” cast doubt on mandatory sentences, and that this “harshest possible penalty will be uncommon.”

The aforementioned change spread quickly across the nation, with individual state, where most juvenile justice issues are settled, which are using the same course of actions that are especially designed to rehabilitate juveniles, so much as the most grave cases. However, new change happened all over the United States when it comes to the treatment and arbitration of juveniles related to delinquency and criminal matters over the past twenty years .

To what extent did the Warren Court influence political and social issues between 1954 and 1968?
e-lub [12.9K]

The Warren Court refers to the Supreme Court of the U.S. during the period when Earl Warren served as Chief Justice. Warren replaced the deceased Fred M. Vinson as Chief Justice in 1953, and Warren remained in office until he retired in 1969. Warren was succeeded as Chief Justice by Warren Burger.

Warren led a liberal majority that used judicial power in dramatic fashion, to the consternation of conservative opponents. The Warren Court expanded civil rights, civil liberties, judicial power, and the federal power in dramatic ways.

The court was both applauded and criticized for bringing an end to racial segregation in the United States, incorporating the Bill of Rights, i.e. including it in the 14th Amendment Due Process clause, and ending officially sanctioned voluntary prayer in public schools. The period is recognized as the highest point in judicial power that has receded ever since, but with a substantial continuing impact.

Prominent members of the Court during the Warren era besides the Chief Justice included Justices William J. Brennan, Jr., William O. Douglas, Hugo Black, Felix Frankfurter, and <span>John Marshall Harlan II</span>
