North Carolina Age of Juvenile Jurisdiction

(

)

...by raising the age, it is anticipated that recidivism will be reduced and the quality of life will be increased for those who would have become re-offenders.

- Length, citations, neutrality, and content all are good. However, the hook is not correct, you need the name of the article in it, and it needs to be less biased, and free to legal jargon like "recidivism." If you like the hook, then we will pass this:Kayz911 (talk) 15:57, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that experts believe that by increasing the North Carolina Age of Juvenile Jurisdiction, it will allow more offenders to be tried as juveniles and enable more access to rehabilitation services? Kayz911 (talk) 16:00, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Isn't the alt almost tautological? Of course, relaxing the requirements to be tried as a juvenile will allow more people to be tried as juveniles. Also, I don't get why all of the words in the article title are capitalized.--Carabinieri (talk) 16:04, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Article makes excessive use of long quotations from sources -- large parts of the article consist largely of sentence-length passages from different sources, surrounded by quotation marks and assembled into paragraphs. For example, in this paragraph that I selected almost almost at random, all but the first sentence (and an in-text attribution in the last ssntence) consists of quotations:

Advocates also see the importance of minors being placed in the juvenile system because of the services which are available to offenders. By "providing intensive supervision, meaningful treatment, and rehabilitation to sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds in juvenile court, rather than trying and incarcerating them with adult defendants in criminal courts and prisons, would lower recidivism rates" whereas "youth who are tried and sentences as adults have been shown to receive little or no education services, mental health or substance abuse treatment, job training, or any other type of rehabilitative programming." "While rehabilitation programs and intensive treatment for adolescents can be expensive, they ultimately save money by reducing the numbers of those who are prosecuted and sentenced as repeat offenders."] According to the Campaign for Youth Justice, "empirical research has demonstrated that violent adolescent offenders prosecuted in adult criminal court are likely to re-offend more quickly and more often than those adjudicated in a juvenile court setting."

This is not an appropriate use of quotations per WP:COPYVIO and WP:QUOTE. The article cannot be featured at DYK in its present form. --Orlady (talk) 04:41, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

The nominator has not edited on Wikipedia since the day this article was submitted nearly four weeks ago. Based on Orlady's summation above, and the general lack of activity on the article since submission, the DYK nomination does not pass. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:17, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
