Should teens who commit serious crimes be tried and sentenced as children or adults? FRONTLINE follows four youth offenders through the Santa Clara County, California juvenile courts, observing how the criminal justice system treats their cases and determines their fates. Filmed over 15 months, this report also talks with the judges, case workers, prosecutors and families of the young teens, as well as some of those who were their victims. (2001, cc, 60 minutes.)
