Criminal Justice in America- Enter a Mind

What is criminal Justice? What about criminal justice for teens? Why do we need criminal justice?

Wait hold up- what does justice even mean?

What happens if you make a mistake? What happens if you get arrested?

Then you apply for a job. 

When you see the little checkbox about a criminal record- what do you do?

You check yes. You don't want to lie, right?

Then the person hiring looks at you funny. Why would they want to hire a criminal? Did you actually think you were going to get the job over a better person- a person whose never been arrested?

Wait- but it was just a mistake. Some small arrest when you were 17.

Now you are paying for it.

Now thousands of teens are paying for it.

What happens when you get blacklisted from the job market?

The effect of  Teen Criminal Records on teen employment.
