This book provides a comprehensive, cutting-edge look at the
problems that impact the way we conduct intervention and treatment
for youth in crisis today-an indispensable resource for
practitioners, students, researchers, policymakers, and faculty
working in the area of juvenile justice. Understanding Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency provides a concise overview of the most
compelling issues in juvenile delinquency today. It covers not only
the range of offenses but also the offenders themselves as well as
those impacted by crime and delinquency. All of the chapters
contain up-to-date research, laws, and data that accurately frame
discussions on youth violence, detention, and treatment; related
issues such as gangs and drugs; the consequences for scholars,
teachers, and students; and best practices in intervention methods.
The book's organization guides readers logically from the broader
definitions and parameters of the study of juveniles to the more
specific. The volume leads with an explanation of the relationship
between victimization and juvenile behavior and sets up boundaries
of the arenas of delinquency-from the family to the streets to
cyberspace. The book then focuses on more specific populations of
offenders and offenses, including recent, emerging issues, offering
the most accurate information available and cutting-edge insight
into the issues that affect youth in custody and in our
communities. Provides insights into juvenile justice from
contributors and editors who have extensive experience in teaching,
researching, and writing on the subject Represents an ideal
teaching text for courses in juvenile justice-a staple topic in all
criminology and criminal justice college programs Presents analysis
and evaluation of techniques used and programs employed, enabling
readers to be better advocates for law and policy impacting youth
Includes discussion questions appropriate for classroom settings
and lists of additional resources, related websites, and supporting
films that guide students in investigating the subject further
