The book “No Matter How Loud I Shout”, written by Edward Humes, examines several important conflicts within the juvenile justice system. It is necessary for the juvenile system to rehabilitate children away from their life of crime, but it must also protect the public from the most violent and dangerous minors, causing primary conflict. Further conflicts arise over how the court is able to administer appropriate treatment or punishment and over the child's rights and due process. The final key issue is between those who call for a complete overhaul of the system and those who think it should simply be dismantled. There are solid arguments on both sides that support each of their opinions, causing much debate about the juvenile court system. Edward Humes follows the cases of seven teenagers in juvenile court and those around them. Many people say the system's first priority should be to protect the public from juvenile criminals who pose a danger to others. Once minors enter the system, however, there is debate about what should be done with them. Especially for those deemed too dangerous to be released to their parents. Some want them locked up as long as possible without rehabilitation, thinking that this will put an end to their criminal actions. One way to do that, they believe, would be to send them to adult court. This was a great way to reform the juvenile system by lowering the age limits. I believe that in some cases this is the best method to not pardon juveniles convicted of murder, as in the case of Ronald Duncan, who got away with a much shorter sentence due to his age. However, another minor, Geri Vance, was old enough to be sent to adult court, which caused him to t...... middle of paper ......, badly operated on, and ultimately fails to adequately achieve its objectives due to an overload of cases. There is a continuation of failures for minors by the system, such as George, who needed adequate help, as he was under the care of the state from the age of five. The book showed me a specific need in the juvenile system that I didn't know existed. It is hoped that the system will be further improved and children can be helped much earlier in their lives. Even though there are many cases of how bad the system is, some young people have put their lives together, like Carla. I thought the most impressive and most beneficial rehabilitation was the pace school for disabled people, the teenager mentioned in the program was Andre. Andre has undergone a complete transformation thanks to the program; I think the program is one that should be further examined as a good rehab option.
