Governor Jerry Brown has proposed phasing out the state Division of Juvenile Justice over the next three years -- a move which the Legislative Analyst's Office says could save the state more than $100 million. But critics argue the counties don't have the resources or training to take care of the state's most violent juvenile offenders.

Host: Dave Iverson

Guests:

  • Barry Krisberg, director of the Earl Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy at UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law
  • Brian Brown, managing principal analyst at the Legislative Analyst's Office
  • Selena Teji, communications specialist with the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice
