Because Kennedy supporters in Iowa had written off the poll saying they would be lucky to get 10 to 12 percent of the vote of party regulars A LAST-MINUTE decision to send Ethel Kennedy wife of the late Sen Robert Kennedy and their son Joseph to the dinner may have caused Ted Kennedy's stock to rise in the straw poll Still the dinner really was a pep rally for President Carter as the dale camp

kindly inent to youthful wrong doers How gently is the law treating the young hood who breaks into your home or place of business steals your car or rips off some old lady's Along with the rest of the public I don't know For under our new statutes there is no way for the public to know what punishment if any is being meted out to these young people for their crimes Kven their names are concealed behind the veil of secrecy that has been drawn before the whole system of handling juvenile offenders THE IOWA Legislature should take a look at these new and Cox conclude that prison can frequently juvenile laws in light of a new study partly financed by the U.S Department of Justice In this study two researchers concluded that putting chronic juvenile offenders behind bars can help reduce crime The report Beyond Juvenile Corrections and the Chronic Delinquent was written by Charles Murray and Louis Cox Jr The study The conventional wisdom has held that institutionalization of juveniles is philosophically barbaric and expensive and does not work Iowa's new juvenile laws are based on this conventional wisdom reduce the number of crimes a juvenile delinquent is likely to commit and that the threat of jail if it is real can also have an impact They say that imprisonment should be considered particularly for chronic delinquents who commit serious crimes and not for the average truant or the kid who steals hubcaps IN AN interview with the Associated Press Murray said alternatives to prison such as community supervision programs can help cut crime as long as youngsters understand that the next step if they break the law is prison He Suppose you were arrested 10 times and put on probation 10 times You wouldn't believe anything was happen the time It is essential to convince young offenders that the criminal justice system is no longer bluffing the study says The least the Iowa Legislature can do is to let some light on the juvenile corrections system so the public can at
