Juvenile Transfers to the Criminal Justice System: State of the Art*
Abstract
This article reviews the research literature on the main mechanisms for transferring juveniles to the criminal justice system: judicial waiver, prosecutorial direct files, and legislative exclusion from juvenile court jurisdiction. The main criteria guiding this review are the extent to which these transfer mechanisms capture serious, violent, and chronic offenders; convict and incarcerate them; and protect the public safety. Most of the research to date focuses on judicial waiver. The article makes an overall assessment of current knowledge and discusses unintended consequences of transferring juveniles to the criminal justice system.

“Finally, while violent youths may, in general, experience harsher punishment in adult court, it also appears that only the most chronic and violent are immediately removed from society and undergo periods of confinement lasting more than a few years (Bishop, 2000;Howell, 1996Howell, , 1997;;Myers, 2001).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
