September 11th, 2001 led to a new era of the American war machine, certainly in Afghanistan and Iraq, but also with military actions in at least 20 other countries since.

When juvenile courts were first created more than 100 years ago, they were imagined as a therapeutic space where specially-trained public servants and a friendly, caring judge would help children and families.
