Juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice are two essential topics
in the criminal justice curriculum. Sanborn and Salerno's The
Juvenile Justice System: Law and Process is dedicated solely to
explaining juvenile justice.
This text explores the many differences between the juvenile
justice and the criminal justice systems, both those that benefit
youths and those that are arguably unfair to them. The book
concentrates, describes, and explains the unique traits of juvenile
justice and what makes it so different from criminal justice.
The Juvenile Justice System specifically addresses what actually
happens during the court process, devoting an entire chapter to the
adjudicatory hearing as well as all other major decision-making
stages. A unique feature is its in-depth coverage of plea
bargaining. Also featured are topics such as parental role in the
juvenile justice system, school searches, and the origin of
juvenile court.
Another unique benefit of this text is the Numbers section at the
end of several chapters, detailing how many youths have been
affected by various decisions made in the juvenile justice system
(such as arrest, detention, transfer to adult court, adjudication,
being placed on probation, or committed to residential placement).
In addition, the appendices identify juvenile justice standards for
all 50 states and Washington, DC, as well as the federal
jurisdiction. These standards apply to all decisions made within
the juvenile justice system, including arrest, detention,
diversion, intake, transfer, adjudication, disposition, and
postdispositional stages.
The text is written in a conversational, reader-friendly style.
Each chapter describes and analyzes, step by step, what young
alleged offenders experience in each successive stage of the court
process. For each chapter, outlines of key terms and concepts aid
student comprehension and serve as a starting point for class
discussion. Each chapter also features discussion questions
designed to stimulate students' critical thinking.
A comprehensive Instructor's Manual/Testing Program is available,
and an interactive Student Study Guide is included with each copy
of the book.
