The book “There Are No Children Here” follows the life of two young boys, Pharoah and Lafayette as they battle everyday life in the dangerous neighborhood of Henry Horner. Many of the life events of Pharoah and Lafayette’s book “There are no Children Here” can be tied to lessons in the book of “Juvenile Delinquency.” Some of the more prominent themes are macro level theories, critical theory of labeling, juvenile justice system, and drugs and gangs. In this book summary I will be discussing how these theories can be applied to the book “There Are No Children Here.”

Alex Kotlowitz was a freelance journalist. In 1985 a friend came to him and asked him to write a text for a photo essay he was doing on (children living in poverty) for a Chicago magazine. That is when he met the Rivers brothers, Lafeyette, age ten, and Pharoah age seven. He spent only a few hours with them interviewing for the photo essay. Lafeyette had an impact on Kotlowitz. When asked what he wanted to be, Lafeyette responded with "If I grow up, I'd like to be a bus driver." Meaning, at ten years old, he wasn't sure if he'd make it to adulthood. In 1988 Kotlowitz suggested to the boys' mother, LaJoe, the idea of writing a book about Pharoah, Lafeyette and the other children in the neighborhood.

This thought-provoking essay talks about letting the children enjoy their free time in the summer and burden them with extra work. It also talks about the possible consequences of overburdening them and the dangers of letting them free.

The juvenile justice system is very similar to that of an adult justice system. Young criminals go through the same process an adult criminal would go through, including: arrest, detainment, petitions, hearings, probation and reentry. Many states have different standards as to when a person is considered to be an adult, bringing lots of controversy. As fourteen states do not even have a minimum age a child could be tried as an adult. Why is it that children are not capable of understanding life until the age of eighteen and cannot make decisions for themselves, but once a crime is committed the child surely knew what they were doing and could be tried as an adult? If under the age of sixteen children should not be tried as adults, as many times children do not understand the consequences of their actions.

Children being tried as adult’s unfortunately is not a new practice in the U.S. or one that is looked down upon. In the United States there are thousands of underage children that get tried in criminal court each year. Countless of studies show that trying children as adults does not benefit neither the child nor the society. This essay will show that trying a child as an adult is unconstitutional and violates the criminal law conduct. This essay will carful define the terms regarding children in the criminal justice system, to fully understand the situation.

There was a 15 year old girl in the news where she and her boyfriend killed her mother and younger sister before having sex at the house and watched a vampire film. In my opinion, I think juveniles should be tried as adults because even though they are kids or teens, they know what they did is wrong, but they still did the crime. Even though teenage brains are developing it’s not an excuse for killing people. Teenagers know right from wrong and if they plan the crime they can’t argue its because they are angry with temper issues. It’s not right to kill people no matter how old you are, even if you’re 12 because they know it’s wrong too.

Do I put my kids in daycare or not? Here’s the thing: it cost a lot, like an arm and a leg a lot! And the prices are always rising. You also never know if you can fully trust a person to watch your children. Bad things happen all the time with daycares. Sometimes your kids are just brats and you don’t want anyone else to have to deal with them because it can be embarrassing the way they may act.

Last year wasn’t the greatest time of my life. My parents found something wrong with me that I had tried so hard to hide. At school, I would feel it coming and left the classroom to go to the bathroom and let it pass. It got up to about three times a week. I remember the pain, the isolation, the fear, the feeling that I was going crazy and that I was going to die. I never knew why I couldn’t just be like everyone else, why the littlest things lit a fuse to a bomb within me. Over and over again. Why me?

Let children be children, is not only a popular phrase heard in education, but it is also my motto. Yes, it is true, today’s children are tomorrow’s future; but how we choose to raise our children determines the outcome of our future. Many believe academics should be stressed more in schools, taking away from children’s playtime. I feel that play is what molds a child. Play allows not only a child’s imagination to run freely, but builds and strengthens children’s motor, language, cognitive, and social emotional development skills. I believe that play; along with parental involvement forms a child’s identity. Play is what makes children: tomorrow’s future.
