The millennium marked the beginning of a second century for the
formal system of juvenile justice in the United States. From its
inception, the central focus of the system has been delinquency, an
amorphous construct that includes not only "criminal" behavior but
also an array of youthful actions that offend prevailing social
mores. Thus, the meaning of delinquency is markedly time dependent.
Likewise, methods for addressing the phenomenon have reflected the
vagaries of social constructions of youth and youth deviance.
American juvenile justice was founded on internally conflicting
value systems: the diminished responsibility and heightened
malleability of youths versus individual culpability and social
control of protocriminality. During its first century, the latter
generally have become increasingly predominant over the former.
Those most caught up in the system, however, have remained
overwhelmingly our most marginalized youths, from immigrants'
offspring in the early 20th century to children of color in
contemporary society. The implications of such theoretical and
sociodemographic variations are considered, and their implications
are reviewed for public policy beyond mere political symbolism.
