Why do you think a category for status offenders makes sense?

History

Setler79 [48]3 years ago
6 0
A status offense is a noncriminal act that is considered a law violation only because of a youth's status as a minor. 1 Typical status offenses include truancy, running away from home, violating curfew, underage use of alcohol, and general ungovernability.
Status offenses are not crimes, but they are prohibited under the law because of a youth's status as a minor. While status offenses are not serious offenses, they can have serious consequences for youth.
A separate juvenile justice system was established in the United States about 100 years ago with the goal of diverting youthful offenders from the destructive punishments of criminal courts and encouraging rehabilitation based on the individual juvenile's needs.
Based on above mentioned explanations a separate category for status offenders makes sense.

Which is not an example of an externality
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Externality

This is a result of industrial or commercial activity which affects other parties without this being reflected in market prices. It is used to refer to the cost or benefit received by a third party. In a externality situation, the third party has no control over the creation of the cost or benefits.

Roads maintained with tax on gasoline has no externality. This is because the tax is imposed on the road users through tax. There is no third party benefiting or incurring cost from the maintenance of of road with tax on gasoline.

Apart from the other options which are good examples of externality, a common one used to explain the term is a person smoking cigarette, which can create passive smoking for those around.
