Controlling Youth or Filling Prisons?

as the "Juvenile Crime Control Act of 1997." The authors of
the legislation say that the bill is intended to strengthen existing federal juvenile justice systems. On the surface, it appears
that the legislation is
and relatively harmless.

Title I includes fingerprinting and photographing of juvenile criminals, preservation of and public access to juvenile
criminal records and optional adult prosecution of a juvenile age 13 or older who commits a federal violent crime or

months after enactment of the bill, an "Armed Violent
Youth Apprehension Program." Among the elements of the
bill is a requirement that every U.S. Attorney General,
establish a task force within his or her federal district to
coordinate with state and local law enforcement the apprehension of armed violent youth.
Htla HI deals with accountability for juvenile offenders
and public prosecution incentive grants. Under this provision, states would receive grants to support certain activities, including hiring additional prosecutors to target juvenile offenders and Luilding, expanding or operating juvenile
detention and correction facilities.
.The above title also authorizes $500 million a year
over three years to states that have in effect or will have in
affect, laws and policies that provide a system of graduated
sanctions for juvenile offenders, ensuring a sanction for
every delinquent or criminal act. That state law does not
prevent a juvenile court judge from issuing a court order
against a parent or guardian.
I purposely quoted the bill verbatim, so that readers
could clearly understand what was xecently passed by the
House of Representatives. Some might say that this is what
wayward youth deserve. However, that sentiment is held
until it is a son or daughter or some other relative who is on
the receiving end of this type of justice.
Although there were a rmmber of Democrats who
voted for the legislation, thare ware some who fought fervently against its pasetie, including Congrosswoxnan Sheila

attorneys general say.... that you can't iust keen locking, up

"Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault,
ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in
the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be
tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law
of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when
he is nothing, he deceiveth himself." Galatians 6:1-Christian should know that when they become a Christian,
"they become a new creature." He or she L "born of tho water
and of the Spirit." This is a spiritual rebirth, for "that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit." However, the newborn spirit lives
in the same old physienj body. The "flesh" has the same old
desires and demands. One who has been "born again" has the
responsibility of keeping his olier body under control and
following the lead of the Holy Spirit. Each Christian also
shares the responsibility of helping other Christian continue in
the way of the Holy Spirit.

Again it must be expressed that because one is a Christian
does not mean being exempt from trouble or from ever falling
into sin again. In fact, the warfare and its intensity seem to
escalate with each new decision to relinquish our lives into
the directions of die Holy Spirit. Everything in the world wars
against such faith and wants us to decide the cost is too great
to follow Jesus.

BLESSID UNION OP SOULS I Wanna Tic There (4:0S)
PRODUCERS: Ernotia CP. Roth
WR'TERS: E. Sloan, J. Pence, Emosia, E. Hedges
PUBLISHERS:
Bernstein, ASCAP
EMI 11688(i,assctte single)
Will the dreaded sophomore jinx infect this band? Not likely. This strumd
ming
preview into Blessid Union Of Soul's eponymous second
n
disc has all the markings of a
smash. It combines a charming
declaration of devotion with a smooth melody, a memorable chorus, and an
endlessly earnest lead vocal. "I Wanna Be There" sounds like the theme to a
movie or a "Party Of Five" television episode. And that'r a real good thing.
