Juvenile justice policies have historically been built on a
foundation of myths and misconceptions. Fear of young, drug-addled
superpredators, concerns about immigrants and gangs, claims of
gender biases, and race hostilities have influenced the public's
views and, consequently, the evolution of juvenile justice. These
myths have repeatedly confused the process of rational policy
development for the juvenile justice system. Juvenile Justice:
Redeeming Our Children debunks myths about juvenile justice in
order to achieve an ideal system that would protect vulnerable
children and help build safer communities. Author Barry Krisberg
assembles broad and up-to-date research, statistical data, and
theories on the U.S. juvenile justice system to encourage effective
responses to youth crime. This text gives a historical context to
the ongoing quest for the juvenile justice ideal and examines how
the current system of laws, policies, and practices came into
place. Juvenile Justice reviews the best research-based knowledge
on what works and what does not work in the current system. The
book also examines failed juvenile justice policies and applies
high standards of scientific evidence to seek new resolutions. This
text helps students embrace the value of redemptive justice and
serves as a springboard for the current generation to implement
sounder social policies. Juvenile Justice is an ideal textbook for
undergraduate and graduate students studying juvenile justice in
Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Sociology. The book is also an
excellent supplemental text for juvenile delinquency courses. About
