Maryland considers shifting some teenage violent crime cases from adult to juvenile courts; Louisiana proposes the opposite.
In Maryland, lawmakers are considering a bill that would change how teenage defendants are handled in the court system.
Sen. William Smith's proposal would shift default jurisdiction over some violent crimes from adult to juvenile courts, allowing prosecutors to request transfers for severe cases.
This aims to reduce recidivism and lower costs associated with transferring cases between systems.
In contrast, Louisiana is considering an amendment that could allow more teenagers to be tried as adults for a broader range of crimes, a move opposed by child advocates.
