%X This article focuses on the juvenile justice system in California and outlines approaches currently taken in response to teenagers who are part of the "punk" and "heavy metal" subculture. Data were collected from hospitals that have adolescent care programs. When these hospitals were given a hypothetical situation in which the parents' main problem with their child was the music he or she listened to, the clothes he or she wore, and the posters on his or her bedroom wall, 83% of the facilities believed the youth needed hospitalization. These findings were placed within a labeling framework in order to understand the effect of these policies.<p />
