Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs Fellows Title: Waiving Hope: An Analysis of the Juvenile Waiver Process in New Jersey Summary: The Public Policy and International Affairs Fellows of Princeton University’s Domestic Policy Workshop recommend several strategies to improve waiver procedures and practices in New Jersey’s Juvenile Justice Commission. Due to a shift from a rehabilitative to a punitive philosophy in juvenile justice, states such as New Jersey have pushed for harsher punishments for youth who commit specific crimes. We analyzed whether waiver continues to fulfill the original intent of its legislative creators and ask if waiving a juvenile to the adult court preserves public safety and deters further criminal activity by youth. We have found that waiver does not work in the way it was intended and may have damaging, unintended consequences for the community and for youth.
