I don't know if this has any role in this or not, but one thing that has changed is access to media. If I had been arrested when I was 15 the only people who would know would be me, my family and anyone who might have been there when it happened or who I chose to tell.
Now with Facebook, Twitter, every kid having a cell phone etc. The news is out and everyone in town knows as soon as it happens. Not only that, but the story might hit a major online news site and pretty soon you have thousands of people from all over the world commenting on your situation.
