Kids in Court

Description

Many Americans believe that only stiffer penalties will deter kids from committing crimes. But is this true? In this three-segment program, ABC News anchor Ted Koppel uses interviews with rehabilitation advocates and case studies of young offenders to publicize the promising efforts of facilities such as the Holden Ranch for Boys, in California, while underscoring the urgent need for locked juvenile mental health facilities for young convicts requiring treatment for addictions and psychological disorders.
