I wondered whether a different form of justice, restorative justice in this case, would be more effective at reducing juvenile recidivism. If you've taken other criminal justice courses at CSULA (which I'm assuming you have otherwise you wouldn't be taking this course) then I'm sure you've heard how awful our corrections system has become which is why I was particularly interested in this topic. Should you feel the need to go along the same path I did then I suggest you find the book Juvenile justice reform and restorative justice: building theory and policy from practice by Bazemore and Schiff. It will change your world! Well not really but it will definitely make your research a lot easier. Accountability in Restorative Justice by Roche is another book you should check out.
Helpful Hints:
1. Get plenty of sleep during the first half quarter because you will lose a lot of it during the second half.
2. You will be overwhelmed during your researched paper. Prepare accordingly.
3. You will be stressed out over this researched paper. See Above^
4. Pick a topic you're interested in. If you're not interested in your topic then no one who reads your paper will be either.
5. Don't write the paper at once. You will age about 10 years if you do.
6. Buy a new print cartridge before you print. You may run out of ink halfway through the printing process (doh!)
7. Should your pesky friend "procrastination" show up at your door pretend like you're not home. Hide if you have to. Just stay away from it at all costs.
Good Luck.
