RECRIMINALIZING DELINQUENCY examines one state's response to violent juvenile crime through waiver legislation that transfers jurisdiction over juveniles from juvenile court to criminal court. It focuses on the creation, implementation, and effects of waiver legislation that lowers the eligible age of criminal responsibility to thirteen for murder and fourteen for other violent offenses.
