Study Stresses Dangers of Charging Youth as Adults
"Until November of last year,
California prosecutors could bypass the juvenile justice system,
charging minors in adult courts without any input from a judge. 'Prosecutorial direct filing' is no longer legal after the passage of
Prop 57 last November, and now a report from advocacy organization Human Impact Partners,
published earlier this month, has made a case for why California should
go further–and eliminate the practice of charging youth as adults
entirely."
