Gun Court (2012)

GUN COURT is an educational video designed to show how Juvenile Gun Court works. Juvenile Gun Court is the brainchild of State of Delaware Chief Judge Chandlee Kuhn. The goal of Gun Court is to give youth who have earned gun charges a second chance. Upon sentencing, they are strategically placed in programs that allow them to continue their education, learn job skills, and receive mental health treatment. In addition, Chief Judge receives updates on the particular juvenile, even until their release dates. The goal of the court is to stop juveniles who are first time offenders from receiving adult charges. This program is funded through the Delaware Criminal Justice Council by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance.
