Lucy Flower
Lucy Louisa Coues Flower (1837-1921) was an American children's rights activist at the end of the 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s.〔"Lucy Louisa Flower." Chicago Tribute. Web. 30 Apr. 2015. 〕 She was the major contributor in the creation of the Juvenile Court, along with others such as Julia Lathrop, Jane Addams, and more. The creation of the Juvenile Court was not Flower's only accomplishment; she was also prominent in the creation of Illinois Training School for nurses, the foundation of the John Worthy School, and played many major roles in the Chicago School System. 〔 "Gallery of Local Celebrities." Chicago Tribune. 4 Nov 1900. Web. 25 Nov 2014. 〕 Flower was very interested in helping juveniles, which leads to her biggest creation - the Juvenile Court, founded on July 1st, 1899 in Cook County, Illinois. Before the juvenile court, children as young as seven were sent to jails with adult criminals.
In 1898, there were 508 crimes committed by children 10 and under, and 15,161 committed by children 10 to 20. 〔Clapp, Elizabeth J. Mothers of All Children. Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania State University
Press, 1998. Google Books.〕 In 1899, when the court was established, the crime rate went down for all children.
Chicago's Lucy Flower Playlot Park was renamed in her honor in 2005 (formerly the People's Park).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks/flower-lucy-playlot-park/ )〕
