A time that I misjudged my rhetorical situation was when I was a new freshman back in August 2017. During the month of August, Texas Woman's University held multiple events for first-year students. One of the many events that I attended was Pioneer Camp. I remember sitting in my dorm room and reading through the Pioneer Camp pamphlet that I was given. I took note of the events that were being held during the week of Pioneer Camp that struck my interest. One of the many events that struck my interest was the involvement fair.

The purpose of this research is to distinguish the difference and similarity between the adult Justice System and Juvenile Justice System. The Juvenile Justice System main function is to rehabilitate the delinquent juveniles who have committed criminal acts and to help them function in today’s society. It is more resolute to rehabilitate a minor than to punish them for things they do that they don’t understand.

It will demonstrate how certain characteristics of the law pertain to both systems and there are more laws that are made to protect the juvenile.
