From the preface: "History has dealt the juvenile court (and, more
broadly, the juvenile justice system) a cruel blow. What began as a
promising social experiment has disappointed nearly everyone...
Inevitably, disillusionment has weakened the mandate of the
juvenile justice system. Conflicts in philosophy, once held at bay
by general enthusiasm for the enterprise, have now surfaced with
great urgency. What, in fact, is the purpose of the juvenile
justice system? Is it to protect the community from youth crime, or
to help children grow up? Is it primarily a court dominated by
concerns for justice? Or, is it more fundamentally a social service
agency concerned with structuring the environments of children? Is
the court an independent institution that stands apart from the
community and administers justice in a fair and impartial way? Or,
is the court an agent of the community in the sense that it
establishes norms of conduct and draws both public and private
agencies to the tasks of socializing children?"
