abstract="This paper endeavors to understand and assess the last clause of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which holds that &quot;cruel and unusual punishments [shall not be] inflicted.&quot; This entails a review and analysis of the major case development and some of the firoblem areas--both solved and unsolved. Inasmuch as neither the purpose nor the typical proceeding of the juvenile court is penal, the &quot;cruel and unusual punishment&quot; prohibition is inapplicable to it. However, treat ment of a juvenile within the jurisdiction of the court may involve punishment. When it does, he is protected, as an adult is, against the infliction of cruel and unusual punishment.<p />",
