Justice & Youth Quiz

The “Justice & Youth” Quiz is a fast, eye-opening learning experience designed to help students and young people understand how the juvenile justice system really works—especially when drug-related allegations are involved. In 10 carefully written questions, you’ll test common assumptions (like whether juvenile records disappear at 18), learn what “rehabilitation” is supposed to mean in juvenile court, and explore how a case can be transferred to adult court with life-changing consequences. You’ll also unpack key concepts that show up in real school and community situations: status offenses (like truancy), drug diversion programs that can offer a true second chance, and restorative justice approaches that focus on repairing harm instead of simply punishing. The quiz explains why school searches follow a different legal standard (“reasonable suspicion”), how sentencing disparities can impact marginalized communities, and what people mean by the “school-to-prison pipeline.” Each question includes a clear, plain-language answer so you don’t just get a score—you leave with practical knowledge and vocabulary you can use in conversations with parents, educators, advocates, or legal professionals. Whether you’re preparing for a class discussion, building civic awareness, or simply trying to understand your rights, this quiz helps turn confusing legal jargon into accessible, empowering information—because one mistake or misunderstanding shouldn’t define your future.
