How did juvenile justice change in the 1980s and 1990s

erica [24]3 years ago

In the late 1980s, the public perceived that juvenile crime was on the rise and that the system was too lenient. Many states passed punitive laws, including mandatory sentences and automatic adult court transfer for certain crimes. 

In the 1990s, this tough on crime trend accelerated. Tougher laws made it easier to transfer youth offenders to the criminal justice system. By the mid-1990s, use of institutional confinement for even minor offenses was growing. Youth correctional facilities across the country were overcrowded and conditions were deplorable.

Beginning in the late 1990s, the drive to increase rates of youth incarceration began to recede. Led by California, many states began reducing the number of youths committed to youth correctional institutions.

Borrowing from the lessons learned from the closing of the Massachusetts training schools in the early 1970s, the efficiency of the congregate institution was now being questioned. 

By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, states such as California were instituting the most sweeping reforms in the history of the juvenile justice system.

Answer:

Very (1) few  cities in Europe are like Lisbon,  Portugal's unique capital. Apart from its distinctive fado music  and incredible cuisine, visitors notice something else - the (2)  amount of graffiti that can be seen across the city.  There's something special about (3) much  of the  graffiti. Lisbon has so (4) many  empty buildings that  the city asked graffiti artists to decorate them with giant murals.  In fact, it is estimated that the (5) number  of abandoned  buildings just in the city centre is over 4,000. Crumbling buildings  that were boarded up have come to life again as canvasses for  urban artists.  (6) Some  residents believe that it has brightened up  the city centre and added to its charm, but others disagree. They  have (7) little  interest in urban art and would prefer  to have (8) no  graffiti at all.

Explanation:

The question above relies on our knowledge of countable and uncountable nouns. Words such as "few", "many", "some", and "number" accompany countable nouns, that is, nouns that can be quantified and used in the plural form. On the other hand, words such as "much" and "little" are used with uncountable nouns. Some words, such as "amount" and "no" can actually be used with both types of nouns, so it will really depend on the context to choose where to place them.
