Preferred term

youth courts  

Definition

  • Teen courts originated from a number of programs beginning in the late 1960s and as of 2010 numbered about 1,200 in the United States. The basic idea informing these programs is that young offenders will benefit by having creative, thoughtful or unique dispositions (“sentences,” in the terminology of juvenile courts) imposed by a panel of peers.
