“Children and adults are different, a fact the law routinely recognizes when juveniles are prohibited from buying beer or casting a vote.” (Paragraph 1)
“Yet in recent years, many states have decided to sentence more children to the longer periods of incarceration normally reserved for adults, especially for serious and violent crimes.” (Paragraph 2)
“Studies comparing the recidivism rates of youth processed in the juvenile system with those handled in the adult system indicate that youth processed in the adult system are likely to re—offend more quickly and at higher rates.” (Paragraph 5)
“For too long, we have defaulted to incarceration as a way to respond to all manner of adolescent behavior.” (Paragraph 7)

“Studies comparing the recidivism rates of youth processed in the juvenile system with those handled in the adult system indicate that youth processed in the adult system are likely to re—offend more quickly and at higher rates.”

Option C.

Explanation:

"The cost of prison in dollars and lives" has been written by Michael Jackson. It focuses on the idea and the fact that adults and children are different and not the same.

So as a result of this, the way used to handle adult criminals should not be used to handle juvenile offenders. This was of treating the juvenile offenders is not effective and they re offend and commit the crime again and at a faster rate.

because of all the immigration, america became one big melting pot. the diversity of cultures from all over the world made america somewhat divided as well. people that immigrated stayed with their kind, and their traditions, while native born americans stayed with their kind and their traditions. normally, people born in american scorned the immigrants as well. the new religions also divided america. in summary, it took away from the american culture and identified america as the "melting pot."
