- Title
INDETERMINATE CONTROL OF OFFENDERS: REALISTIC AND PROTECTIVE.
- Authors
BENNETT, JAMES V.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the dispute if the U.S. Youth Correction Authority Act's indeterminate control of offenders is justifiable or not. It reports that the Model Act provides that the Authority may keep under continued study a person in its control and retain him under supervision so long as this is necessary to the protection of the public. However, the Act does not give carte blanche to the Authority to determine how long an offender may be held. It states that court approval must be obtained if the offender is held beyond his 21st birthday if he was originally committed before he was 18, or beyond the age of 25 if he was committed subsequent to his 18th birthday.
