What are the differences between juvenile and adult justice
systems? Also, discuss at what age you believe it makes sense to make a
distinction between juveniles and adults.

SLP Assignment Expectations
Answer the assignment questions directly
Stay focused on the precise assignment questions, don’t go
off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background
materials
Make sure to use reliable and credible sources as your
references. Articles published in established newspapers or business
journals/magazines are preferred. If you
find articles on the internet, make sure it is from a credible source.
Reference your sources of information with both a
bibliography and in-text citations. See the Student Guide to Writing a
High-Quality Academic Paper, including pages 13-14 on in-text citations.
Another resource is the “Writing Style Guide”, which is found under “My
Resources” in the TLC portal.
