Youth, Crime, and Justice is a comprehensive introduction to
juvenile justice through a unique case-study approach. Each chapter
opens with an engaging case, followed by an explanatory chapter
that teaches core concepts, key terms, and critical issues. This
accessible textbook covers the historical evolution of the core
institutions charged with the socialization, guidance, and
regulation of children and youth in the modern era, including the
family, schools, communities, child welfare, and the juvenile
justice system. Adopting a life course perspective, the book
examines the changing legal, social, and political landscape of
childhood and adolescence in America. The authors take an
intersectional focus, examining the dynamics of race, ethnicity,
class, gender, sexuality, power, and privilege. The book discusses
the juvenile justice system, including police, courts, corrections,
and recent community innovations, in relation to the latest
research on positive youth development and best practices. A
complimentary Instructor's Manual and Test Bank are available, as
well as an open-access Companion Website for students that includes
interactive flashcards and other learning material. Visit
