In the early 1990’s, as a result of the Central Park jogger case, prominent and influential individuals, such as former Princeton professor and Bush Administration appointee John DiIulio, made doom and gloom predictions about the emergence of a “generational wolfpack” of “fatherless, Godless and jobless” youth. This superpredator phrase stuck and almost every state passed new laws to make it easier to try and sentence youth in the adult criminal justice system. Now researchers estimate that approximately 200,000 youth are prosecuted in adult courts every year. This places youth at risk of assault, suicide and death in adult jails and prisons. The consequences of an adult conviction are long-term, serious and life-threatening. This book is designed to help policymakers understand the full impact of these policiessms reminder
