Writing Assignment 1: Transfer Paper (Required)
Although transferring juveniles to adult court only occurs in about 1% of all juvenile cases, this is a real problem facing the criminal justice. Discuss the transfer process and the options (or lack thereof) that judges have in determining whether transfer is a viable option. At what age are children accountable for their actions: make sure to discuss the differences/similarities between a juvenile at 6, 12, and 16 years of age. Make sure to address the problems associated with this process included but not limited to aggravating and mitigating factors, racial disparity, and economic disparity.
The paper must be no less than 5 full pages (excludes reference page), must use a minimum of 5 academic sources (books or journals), and must follow the rubric (APA format). Government sources are acceptable; however, they must be used in addition to academic sources.
