Overall, I really like how clear and well laid out your article is. You might want to consider adding an informational graph or table. It seems as though juvenile crime has fluctuated over time. Is there anyway for your group to research further into what those number are? Hopefully there is newer data than what is cited from 2011. Additionally, the article breaks down the relevant population by race, but this material could also possibly be represented in a pie chart. Hopefully this helps.

Question: Is it possible to link to section within our own article and if so, how? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayoubjes ( talk • contribs) 21:54, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello! As part of a course assignment, I will be editing this page to be more representative of the American Juvenile Justice System and to increase the depth of the article. Ayoubjes ( talk) 22:00, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello, this is rJay. I've decided to renovate this page. Is there a way to re-make the page or change the title? It was poorly done. This page needs a lot of work. I'll work on it over the next few days, and see what I can come up with. RJay (official) ( talk) 19:43, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
I am a student at Rice University in Houston, TX, and as part of a class assignment was thinking of creating a new article on the Juvenile Justice System in the United States. Because this article has multiple issues with citation, quality, and objectivity. It has been suggested that the article be deleted entirely. I thought it would be a good idea to write a new article that covered issues the original does not, and that would allow the current one to be removed. My proposed contribution provide an broader overview of the juvenile justice system with regards to how adolescents are tried, as well as methods of juvenile punishment other than incarceration (for example, I would describe the use and effectiveness of alternative schools). My proposed article would include sections on the History and Background of the juvenile justice system; the demographic makeup of adolescents in the juvenile justice system by race, gender, and socioeconomic status; criticisms of the juvenile justice system and its relationship to adult crime (are people in tried and convicted in the system more likely to engage in criminal activity as adults); and proposed reforms to the system in general. I would greatly appreciate feedback and ideas on how to expand information and discussion on this topic. Thank you! LHall19 ( talk) 01:37, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

This is a great start to the article! The breakdown of sections is strong and content overall. Some improvements can be made in sourcing, since many of the footnotes seem to rely on the same sources. Perhaps adding an illustration would help as well along with more information in the demographics section and justifications offered for the current juvenile justice system.

Great topic! The historical background is really great, although I would expand the 1980’s-present day section because it seems to be limited to the 1990s. Additionally, including or expanding a section on the long-term consequences of the justice system on juvenile delinquents would make this topic even more relevant. The demographics section is really well-researched, but perhaps rounding numbers may make them easier to read (just a suggestion). On the whole, a fantastic contribution to Wikipedia. --

Hello,
As part of a course during the Spring 2017 semester I will be adding some portions to the current page and clearing up some of the dialogue. I would also like to work on making the article more impartial and adding more current data/information.

I also would like to add to this page as part of a course. Specifically I would like to add a section on girls in the US juvenile justice system, describing recent demographics and trends. I would then include a link in that section of the page to the page "gender responsive approach for girls in the juvenile justice system. Rcotterj ( talk) 19:56, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
