Juvey-Cops. Why would these same juvey-cops be willing to turn a blind eye to the Admiral and the Graveyard? Do you think that this occurs often in...

I
believe that this question is asking about the book Unwind by Neal
Shusterman. The Juvey-cops, or Juvies, are the law enforcement officers that are tasked with
policing juveniles. More often than not that means Unwinds that have skipped AWOL. Juvies
attempt to capture runaway Unwinds and bring them to a harvest camp, and that is why most Juvies
do not carry and use weapons that use deadly force. Most Juvies in the series use tranquilizer
guns because the body parts of every Unwind are quite valuable. Readers will eventually find out
that the Juvey-cops are fully aware of the Graveyard, the Admiral's work, and all of the Unwinds
that seek refuge there; however, the Juvies are perfectly content with letting the Graveyard
exist. Readers can surmise various reasons as to why they do this, but one reason to leave the
Graveyard alone is because the Juvies know about it. Since they know about it, they can monitor
it. It relates to the phrase "the devil you know." The Juvies might not like it, but
knowing about it is better than shutting it down only for another one to open that they don't
know about. Another benefit of the Graveyard is that it keeps the AWOL Unwinds out of civilized
society. The Unwinds are not wreaking havoc in neighborhoods, because they are contained within
the confines of the Graveyard. Juvies exist to make sure that juveniles don't become a problem,
and that is also what the Graveyard seeks to do. Their methods are different, but the end goal
is still the same.A negative is in societal perception.The Juvey-cops look incompetent if they
know about an Unwind refuge but don't do anything about it.
