Developing JC and Transfer to CC Theories/Propositions (T/Ps): Original JCs
Abstract
Chapter two addresses the anti-transfer crowd's (ATC's) claim that juvenile court (JCs) were founded primarily to be diversion outlets for criminal courts (CCs). Although the current purpose of JCs might legitimately be identified in that manner, diversion from CC was not the exclusive, or even primary, motivation of the JC founders in promoting the JC's introduction in 1899, or in later explaining its critical role in resolving social problems in the first half of the twentieth century. Instead, as disclosed in this chapter, there were at least 20 other purposes that were as important, if not more important, than simply diverting juvenile offenders from CC. Understanding these 20 typically ignored “other” purposes helps the reader to put the original JCs and their operation into context. It also helps explain why transfer to CC would have been mostly irrelevant to the original JCs, which would remain the case for decades.
