In this week's discussion:

• Build on the examination of juvenile justice through a focus on policies, structural features of the juvenile justice system, juvenile justice theories, and criminal justice theories.
• Continue to examine Social Justice

Must Include:

• Examine how a juvenile justice policy affects social justice and how a public policy affects an issue for juvenile justice.
• Construct a modification to a public policy that responds to a juvenile justice issue and support the modification with an applicable theory.
• Explain one policy idea for improving the juvenile justice system and how the idea relates to social justice and to federal, state, and local interests.
