Question

The cost of prison in dollars and lives

Answer 1

Answer:

The author describes the development of the justice system through its constituent elements and objectives, mainly in relation to the maintenance of public security and in the rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders into society, after serving a certain sentence.

Explanation:

The article shows how juvenile courts were created to provide a fair trial to offending children and adolescents. This is because it was determined that children and adolescents have a psychological constitution completely different from that presented by adults and, therefore, their criminal motivations are different and must be judged taking this factor into account. Thus, the penalties between adults, children and adolescents must be different, with the penalties for children and adolescents focused on promoting rehabilitation and social reintegration as a way of maintaining national public security. However, the article shows that this system has flaws that must be remedied as soon as possible.
