Bad Kids - Race and the Transformation of the Juvenile Court (Hardcover)

Within the past three decades, judicial decisions and legal changes have transformed the juvenile court from a nominally rehabilitative welfare agency into a scaled-down criminal court for young offenders. Barry Feld's Bad Kids explores the complex relationships between race and youth crime to explain both the Supreme Court decision to provide delinquents with procedural justice and the more recent political impetus to "get tough" and "crack down" on young offenders.
