This summer, Cincinnati leaders strengthened youth curfew rules in an effort to combat crime in the city. Teens have been in the news this year for a number of crimes, from carjacking to possession of firearms.

But a lot of teen crimes don't make the headlines. Reporter Cameron Knight spent time at Hamilton County Juvenile Court Youth Center's intake department and found that though kids and teens enter in handcuffs, many leave with their parents.

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss what an arrest is like for youth.

Guests:

  • Cameron Knight, breaking news reporter, Cincinnati Enquirer
  • Brian Bell, director of detention, Hamilton County Juvenile Court Youth Center
