Theoretically, it is argued that the ultimate inquiry all judges make in judicial transfer hearings is a normative question: given the seriousness of the offense and the background of the child, should there be an effort to rehabilitate the child? Practically, they argue that all of the various mechanisms of transfer, the judicial transfer hearing is the most preferable because it is holistic, interdisciplinary approach which examines the entire child before making any decision provides a unique opportunity to learn from these tragic cases and hopefully help prevent them from reoccurring.
