The Bill of Rights in Action: Juvenile Law34E

Duration: 12:00

Year Published: 1974

Creator: BFA

Complete Record: Two brothers, ages 15 and 18, are arrested. This film shows the differences between adult criminal procedures and juvenile law, as reflected in the contrasting ways the brothers are treated. Juvenile law is paternalistic, attempting to treat and rehabilitate, rather than punish. Would it be better if juveniles were treated a s adults, subject to criminal sanctions, but at least granted such basic Constitutional rights as bail and trial by jury? The film is open-ended. Constitutional issues, court system, prison
