In Patching Up the Cracks Michael D. Grimes evaluates the American
juvenile court system, specifically looking at its ability to
address child abuse and neglect cases. This project is both a
specific case study focusing on the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court
in New Orleans, Louisiana, and a discussion of the need to examine
the juvenile court system within its larger social and
institutional context. Grimes persuasively argues that in order to
better evaluate the potential for juvenile court reform, it is
crucial to understand the health of the larger community
environment within which the court system operates. The book begins
with a chronological overview of the evolution of children's rights
and a brief history of juvenile justice in America, culminating in
a thoroughgoing assessment of its current status. Grimes concludes
with a discussion of the need for more adequate studies-researchers
and students will appreciate the discussion of his own research
design and methodology-of the ways that juvenile courts treat
dependency cases and the processes through which these courts can
improve their performance.
