Question: Why are the new laws for juveniles so tough?

Answer: The new laws for juveniles were put into place as a result of a proposition that Arizona voters approved in 1996. It was called the Stop Juvenile Crime Initiative. This initiative added a section to the Arizona constitution 'in order to preserve and protect the rights of the people to justice and public safety'. By voting for Proposition 102, the citizens of Arizona said that they want to feel safe from violent crime.
