Since its inception in Illinois in 1899, the juvenile court has
become a remarkable legal and social institution all over the
developed world, one that plays a singular role in modern
government. At its founding, the juvenile court was intended to
reverse longstanding legal traditions, and place the child's
interests first in areas of law ranging from dependency to
delinquency. Yet in recent years legal responses to youths'
offences have undergone striking changes, as more juveniles are
being transferred to adult courts and serving adult sentences.
"A Century of Juvenile Justice" is the first standard,
comprehensive and comparative reference work to span the history
and current state of juvenile justice. An extraordinary assemblage
of leading authorities have produced a accessible, illustrated
document, designed as a reference for everyone from probation
personnel and police to students, educators, lawyers, and social
workers.
Editors' introductions place into context each of the book's five
sections, which consider the history of the ideas around which the
system was organized and the institutions and practices that
resulted; the ways in which this set of institutions and practices
interacts with other aspects of government policy toward children
in the U.S. and in other nations; and also the ways in which
changing social and legal meanings of childhood and youth have
continued to influence juvenile justice. The doctrine and
institutions of juvenile justice in Europe, Japan, England, and
Scotland are profiled in depth to show the range of modern
responses to youth crime and child endangerment. This comparative
material provides a fresh basis for judging the direction of policy
in the U.S.
