A significant percentage of juvenile offenders become repeat offenders as an adult. By being able to identify the problems kids, hopefully the courts will be able to help prevent future problems. The system doesn't do predictions on every child in the state only the ones who have entered the juvenile justice process. The courts all over the country are overburdened at all levels, by being able to focus attention where it's needed most, will probably only be a benefit. I don't think that George Washington had a juvie record for treason.
