A recent ruling and sentencing by a Long Beach Juvenile
Superior Court has a community in outrage.
Nine African-American juveniles were convicted of
assaulting 3 white women on Halloween 2006. Prosecutors
made attempts to label the altercation as a brutal hate
crime.
The juveniles remained in custody for approximately 3
months and were recently released on probation. The
juveniles were sentenced to 60 days home detention, 250
hours of community service and undergo anger management
classes.
The victims of the assault were angered as they
anticipated a harsher sentence.
The juvenile court is built on the premise that
rehabilitation is favored over punishment when working
with youth. The courts ruling substantiates the
effectiveness of Anger Management Classes.
Juvenile courts as well as adult courts rely on
anger
management classes as a rehabilitation tool.
Effective anger management education centers, such as
Daybreak Counseling Service provide an alternative to
long prison terms for violent offenders. Such practices
are beneficial to the offenders and cost effective to
city governments, as housing offenders can be a taxing
to financially strained counties.
