Should American jurisdictions follow the example of Britain’s “parenting orders” and provide juvenile courts with legal options for both holding parents responsible for their children’s behavior and for providing parents with opportunities to improve their parenting skills? What are some of the pros and cons of doing so?
The practice of detaining criminal suspects at police stations rather than at regular detention centers is quite controversial. According to the “Reform in Japan: Suspect Rights” box, a new law will not abolish the substitute prisons system, but it will require separation of the investigating officers from those who supervise the detainees. It also calls for the establishing of citizen and lawyer panels to which detainees can bring complaints about their treatment. Discuss whether you think this really is a problem or an overblown reaction, and if it is, whether the proposed changes will make the system more acceptable.
