This book provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking
introduction to the juvenile justice system in the United States.
It begins by tracing the historical origins of the legal concept of
juvenile delinquency and the institutional responses that
developed, and analyzes the problem of delinquency, including its
patterns, correlates, and causes. With this essential foundation,
the greater part of the book examines the full range of efforts to
respond to delinquency through both informal and formal mechanisms
of juvenile justice. Core coverage includes: The history and
transformation of juvenile justice, The nature and causes of
delinquency, Policing juveniles, Juvenile court processes, Juvenile
probation and community-based corrections, Residential placement
and aftercare programs, Delinquency prevention, Linking systems of
care. This book is designed as a core text for courses on juvenile
justice. Each chapter begins with a compelling case study and
learning objectives that draw attention to the topics discussed.
Each chapter ends with one or two readings that introduce readers
to the literature on juvenile justice. In addition, "critical
thinking questions" invite analysis of the material covered in the
chapter. A companion website offers an array of resources for
students and instructors. For students, this includes chapter
overviews, flashcards of key terms, and useful website links. The
instructor site is password protected and offers a complete set of
PowerPoint slides and an extensive test bank for each chapter-all
prepared by the authors.
