Description

Juvenile Justice provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking introduction to the juvenile justice system in the United States. It begins by tracing the historical origins of the legal concept of juvenile delinquency and the institutional responses that developed, and analyses the problem of delinquency, including its patterns, correlates, and causes.

With this essential foundation, the greater part of the book examines the full range of efforts to respond to delinquency through both informal and formal mechanisms of juvenile justice. Core coverage includes:

The history and transformation of juvenile justice
The nature and causes of delinquency
Policing juveniles
Juvenile court processes
Juvenile probation and community-based corrections
Residential placement and aftercare programs
Delinquency prevention
Linking systems of care

This book is designed as a core text for courses on juvenile justice. Each chapter begins with a compelling case study and learning objectives that draw attention to the topics discussed. Each chapter ends with one or two readings that introduce readers to the literature on juvenile justice. In addition, critical thinking questions invite analysis of the material covered in the chapter.

A companion website offers an array of resources for students and instructors. For students, this includes chapter overviews, flashcards of key terms, and useful website links.
