California lawmakers will consider expanding the reach of the state’s juvenile justice system so that those under age 21 are automatically tried as minors — an idea backed by some state probation officers, who say teenagers aren’t mature enough to be held responsible in the same way as older offenders.
California arrested 17,200 minors under the age of 17 for felonies in 2018, and more than half were black and 36% Latino, according to statistics from the California Department of Justice. The same year, about 14,400 people aged 18 and 19 were arrested on felony charges.
Larry Morse, legislative director of the California District Attorneys Assn., said his organization hadn’t yet taken a position but had questions. Around seven years ago, California began rethinking how it treats young offenders, moving away from a system based on punishment and focusing on rehabilitation. Since then, there has been a push from criminal justice advocates to remove minors from California’s adult correctional system.
