Lauren Fine was quoted in City Square by the
Fordham Urban Law Journal in the article, “Are states rethinking how they charge juvenile defendants?” The article describes how the process of charging a child in the adult criminal justice system can lead to dangerous situations for young people, and specifically quotes Fine in explaining that in states like Pennsylvania, “even if a case is dismissed, kids retain adult criminal records from the time spent in pretrial detention, requiring proactive steps to clear their records.”
