Over the last two decades, researchers have made significant
discoveries about the causes and origins of delinquency.
Specifically, we have learned a great deal about adolescent
development and its relationship to decision-making, about multiple
factors that contribute to delinquency, and about the processes and
contexts associated with the course of delinquent careers. Over the
same period, public officials have made sweeping jurisprudential,
jurisdictional, and procedural changes in our juvenile justice
systems.
The Oxford Handbook of Juvenile Crime and Juvenile Justice presents
a timely compilation of state-of-the-art critical reviews of
knowledge about causes of delinquency and their significance for
justice policy, and about developments in the juvenile justice
system to prevent and control youth crime. The first half of the
handbook focuses on juvenile crime and examines trends and patterns
in delinquency and victimization, explores causes of delinquency-at
the individual, micro-social, and macro-social levels, and from
natural and social science perspectives-and their implications for
structuring a youth justice system. The second half of the handbook
concentrates on juvenile justice and examines a range of
issues-including the historical origins and re-invention of the
juvenile court; juvenile offenders' mental health status and
considerations of trial competence and culpability; intake,
diversion, detention, and juvenile courts; and transfer/waiver
strategies-and considers how the juvenile justice system itself
influences delinquency.
The Oxford Handbook of Juvenile Crime and Juvenile Justice provides
a comprehensive overview of juvenile crime and juvenile justice
administration by authors who are all leading scholars involved in
cutting-edge research, and is an essential resource for scholars,
students, and justice officials.
