ABSTRACT:
Students' preferences concerning systems of juvenile justice were compared using gender and class standing as independent variables. The preferences of upper and lower division students differed significantly, with most upper division students opposing trial of juveniles in adult courts and most lower division students favoring the practice. The authors discuss the implications of students' general patterns of moral reasoning in relation to their service on campus judicial boards and in service learning projects involving juvenile offenders.
