Conservative Perspectives (jeanne's judgment - you may disagree
T. Markus Funk's Views Online
I called this site conservative because it opposes the expunging of juvenile records.
It makes some good points, but it sees the youth as the problem.
But that's a superficial reading. I didn't get to spend a lot of time on it.
