Abstract

The object of this Article is to show that there is no inherent inconsistency between the juvenile court philosophy of correction in lieu of punishment on the one hand, and on the other, the equally sound proposition that when a child commits what would constitute a crime if the same act were committed by an adult, fair play requires that the child be afforded equal procedural safeguards.
