How can the United States best respond to troubled kids? The juvenile justice system cycles between therapy and punishment. Today's boot camps, hailed as a new approach to preventing delinquency, are similar to military-styled intervention from the early 20th century. If these get tough programs fail, it's back to treatment programs again.
