Bloggers unite (for talking about deliquent youth, that is)

http://blog.globalyouthjustice.org/
Global Youth Justice Blog - Run by Scott Peterson

A professionally oriented blog, this particular site focuses on news and trends concerning criminal youth issues. New laws, troublesome new criminal activities, and announcements for fundraisings are posted. The postings themselves are merely the news stories themselves and not in any way editorial. The comments, however, are personal comments with various members expressing concerns and support.  The easy to differentiate between personal beliefs and actual news is refreshing. I would like to see more of the blog owner's personal beliefs, however. The layout of this - as all of them - are chronological, the top newest to bottom lowest, easy to read postings.

The Future Of Children

Another blog that focuses on the collection of news articles, this delves into the psychological aspects of troubled youth. I very much appreciate this, as I believe this is an extremely important aspect to treating criminal youth. The formula of posting both news and then personal comments follows as the previous did.

Oh No They Didn't! Feminism!

This is a personal journal community (not sponsored by any particular cause other than Livejournal's servers). Multiple users post stories and concerns instead of one person posting regular stories.  I particularly chose this because young women, minorities, and especially those of alternative sexuality and gender identities, experience particularly harsh times in the criminal system. This blog brings out those issues, both in explaining what the issues are and in links that provide further research.
