In US, juvenile court judges have always had authority to "waive jurisdiction" over serious juvenile offenders. If a juvenile judge waives jurisdiction, the juvenile offender is transferred to criminal court to be tried as an adult. Beginning in the 1970s, many states made it easier and, in some cases, mandatory for juvenile court judges to transfer juvenile offenders to criminal court. The 2006 National Report on Juvenile Offenders and Victims, published by the U.S. Department of Justice, provides these statistics:

Since 1992, all states have made it easier to transfer juveniles to criminal courts.

Thirteen states have set the upper age limit of juvenile court jurisdiction at age 15 or 16. Youth older than this who are accused of crimes are tried as adults in these states. A majority of states have established a minimum age below which a child cannot be transferred to a criminal court for trial as an adult. This minimum age ranges from as young as 10 in Kansas and Vermont to as old as 15 in New Mexico. But in 22 states and the District of Columbia, no minimum age is defined, or the minimum age does not apply if a serious crime such as murder is at issue.

As of 2004, 15 states had "concurrent jurisdiction" provisions. This means that both the juvenile court and the criminal court have original jurisdiction over certain categories of offenses (common examples are murder and other serious offenses against persons, drug offenses, and serious offenses against property such as arson). In states with concurrent jurisdiction laws, the prosecutor decides whether to bring charges in juvenile court or criminal court.

Changes in state law have made it easier in virtually all jurisdictions to try juveniles as adults when serious offenses are at issue. Criminal justice is much more focused on retribution and punishment for an offense than on rehabilitation of an offender to keep him or her away from a life of future crime.

As of 2004, 29 states had "statutory exclusion" provisions. This means that certain types of offenses—again, serious offenses such as murder are common—are excluded by law from juvenile court jurisdiction.

Punishment is more important than reform for juvenile offenders who commit serious crimes such as murder or rape.

While in India, year 2012-Nirbhaya case, a "juvenile" convict of a serious offense of rape and murder is going to walk free after few days. Please contact the MP of your constituency and ask him to demand from the PM to print an ORDINANCE which decreases juvenile age to sixteen years and implement it retrospectively from Jan-1, 2010. And that ordinance can order retrial on ALL murder cases and cases involving serious crimes against woman.

Once that ordinance is printed, PM will have six months PM will have six months to get it passed in Loksabha and Rajsabha.

Please take a stand and do your part.
