| 13488. LABELING THEORY AND JUVENILE JUSTICE. Drawing on the crime causation theory of labeling theory, this paper argues that labeling theory must be considered in the formulation of juvenile justice policy. Argues that the current “get tough” policies are likely to have long range negative effects on juvenile crime and delinquency. Alternatives to the “get tough” policies, including intensive supervision, group homes and decriminalization, are discussed. 14 pages, 25 footnotes, 17 bibliographic sources. |
