N2  - The death and destruction occurring daily as a result of automobile accidents on America's highways is one of our most serious problems. Since these accidents involve more people under the age of twenty-five than any other age group, the juvenile court is under considerable pressure to do a more effective job in handling juvenile traffic violators. Most communities want their juvenile courts to be more punitive in disposing of juvenile traffic violations, on the assumption that this would reduce recidivism. The form of punishment most usually recommended is a fine.     <p>Language: en</p>
