Issue Satement

ISSUE:
The major social issue in the book Jude by Kate Morganroth involves teenage drug abuse, violent crimes and juvenile incarceration.

QUESTIONS THAT I INTEND TO ANSWER:
What are the characteristics and prevalance of teenage drug abuse in the United States?
Are children of drug abusing parents more likely to become drug abusers themselves?
Is there a connection between teenage drug abuse and teenage violent crimes?
Does incarcerating teenagers as adults for committing violent crimes help solve the problem?
