Getting Tough on School-Connected Crime in Illinois.

Menacker, Julius

West's Education Law Reporter, v51 n2 p347-52 Mar 30 1989

In 1985 the Illinois Legislature revised its Juvenile Court Act and sections of the criminal code to get tough on juvenile crime and school-related crime. The Illinois Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the act. Greater legislative and judicial support is a national trend to control school violence. (MLF)
