Throughout her entire career, Judge Polier continually fought for
the rights and needs of the poor. In this volume she describes the
granting and denial of justice toward the poor -- particluarly poor
children -- she observed during her tenure as a Family Court Judge
in New York City. The book discusses the current state of the
justice system and the outlook for the future. This volume helps
readers understand how broadly shared the responsibility for the
neglect of today's youth is and how society must reshape its
attitudes and realign its priorities to help the thousands of
children who are dependent upon the public for care and support.
The book identifies how the courts have been weakened by their loss
of direct contact with delinquent and neglected children and the
"need for humanity and respect in dealing with difficult human
problems." (from the introduction). From her personal experiences
and observations, Judge Polier describes the granting and denial of
justice she observed while she consistently emphasizes the need for
direct contact with delinquent and neglected children. For
students, professional, and researchers in sociology, criminal
justice, and any social science discipline dealing with children
and children's problems, Polier's book provides a behind-the-scenes
look at one of the major problems facing society today.
