Juvenile crime is one of our nation's most serious problems. Headlines such as "Kids Who Kill" routinely capture the front page of today's newspapers and television news programs. The stories are haunting: an eleven-year-old Chicago youth shoots and kills an innocent fourteen-yearold girl with a bullet intended for a rival gang member.! The eleven-year-old boy was killed three days later, allegedly by the rival gang. In Raleigh, North Carolina, a twenty-two-year-old woman is brutally assaulted by her thirteen-year-old neighbor. The stories are endless.
