Abstract

The article examines the enforcement of the Extended Jurisdiction Juvenile Prosecution (EJJ) blended sentencing law in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The legal framework for judicial waiver is described. The offender and offense variables that influence prosecutorial charging and judicial sentencing decisions are identified by analyzing 504 youth cases against whom waiver and EJJ motions were filed between 1995 and 1997. The subsequent juvenile court processing is examined. The impact of the change in the law on prosecutorial and judicial policies is evaluated.
