Youth rebellion as a precursor of juvenile delinquency is a popular culture mainstay, from Holden Caufield to rock music. But as you have focused on over the first 2 weeks of this course, through the Learning Resources and Discussions, the role of juveniles in society and the criminal justice system is more complex than cultural signifiers might indicate.

In this Assignment, you write a paper that provides the opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding of these concepts and how they are related. Then, you apply these concepts to a contemporary, complex scenario involving the repercussions of youthful actions.
