Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kent v. U.S. ended the "hands off" era in juvenile justice, which held that juvenile courts could operate completely independently from the rules and procedures of adult criminal courts. This case established that young people in the juvenile justice system are entitled to due process rights, including the right to legal counsel and the right to a hearing before being transferred to adult court. It did not end the existence of juvenile courts or reform schools, nor did it relate specifically to house of refuge institutions.
