This book offers an ethnographic study of the lives of girls in the
juvenile justice system. Based on rich, narrative accounts, the
girls at the center of the study are viewed as confronted with the
power of simultaneous race, class, and gender hierarchies. Through
this framework, we see how the girls navigate this challenge by
seeking status in their everyday lives: in their families; juvenile
justice institutions; and neighborhood organizations, including
gangs. Through analyzing the ways that the girls strive for higher
social status, this book provokes debate about how policies and
programs may be creatively rethought to incorporate this pursuit.
Girls and Juvenile Justice offers a glimpse into the hearts, minds,
and souls of adolescent girls. It will be of great interest for
scholars of criminal justice, sociology, women's studies, and
social-psychology.
