“The Changing Status of Children and Self-Report”

Using what you’ve learned this week, respond to the following prompts in your post:

• According to the text, delinquency is an inherently difficult
  concept to measure. Discuss two (2) of the main challenges with
  measuring self-reports from delinquents. Next, describe the methods you
  would utilize to overcome these challenges.
• African-American juveniles account for a disproportionate amount of
  all juvenile arrests for serious crimes. However, white juveniles are
  arrested more often than African-American youths. Furthermore,
  self-reports indicate that African-American and white juveniles commit
  similar amounts of delinquency and lower-class youths are more likely to
  commit serious offenses. Based on these statements, explain what these
  facts would mean to you if you were working as a Juvenile Justice
  professional. Next, recommended two (2) programs you would provide to
  your presiding Judge whom you work for. Provide support for your
  recommendations.
