问题       Even as the number of females processed through juvenile courts climbs steadily, an implicit agreement remains among scholars in criminal justice  that young males define the delinquency problem in the United States. We suggest two reasons why this view persists. First, young females are accused primarily of victimless crimes, such as truancy, that do not involve clear-cut damage to persons or property. If c0mmitted by adults, these actions are not even considered prosecutable; if committed by young males, they have traditionally been looked on leniently by the courts. Thus, ironically, the difficult conditions of female delinquents receive little attention because they are accused of committing relatively minor offenses. Second, the courts have long justified so-called preventive intervention into the lives of young females viewed as antisocial with the reasoning that women are especially vulnerable. Traditional ideas of women as the weaker and more dependent sex have led to earlier intervention and longer periods of misdirected supervision for female delinquents than for males.
The passage suggests that scholars in criminal justice could be criticized  for ______.
选项 A、not paying enough attention to the seriousness of juvenile crime
B、concerning themselves too little with the prevention of juvenile delinquency
C、focusing on those whose crimes have involved damage to persons and property
D、failing to point out injustices in the juvenile courts
答案D
解析 文章第一句表明，那些学者们仍认为美国的青少年犯罪问题以男性青年为主。因此他们看不到在青少年法庭上对女青少年的不公。选项A、B文中无依据。选项C对造成伤害的罪犯给予重视并无不妥之处。
