| Abstract | Proposition 6 -- the Runner Initiative, or the Police and Law Enforcement Funding, Criminal Penalties and Laws, Initiative Statute -- will be on the California ballot in November. But it's only the latest in a string of ballot propositions that change the way juveniles offenders are tried and sentenced in California. Many of the initiatives have had unintended effects -- racial disparities, more punitive sentences for juveniles than adults, and more juveniles serving sentenced to life without parole than anywhere else in the world. Advocates say California needs to reverse this trend, but victims' advocates and some law enforcement groups say the effort is the latest necessity in the war on violent juvenile crime. |
