Serious Delinquency: An Anthology adopts a survey approach to major
issues in delinquency and the juvenile justice system, with topics
including the patterns of offending and victimization, predicators,
theoretically driven correlates, and a wide range of issues in the
operations of the juvenile justice system. The logical organization
of this anthology begins with a brief historical overview and then
follows the juvenile justice system from police involvement to the
court processes and beyond. The text concludes with a
reconsideration of juvenile delinquency using critiques of
historical and current perceptions of the system. In addition, the
book provides an introduction for each chapter that sets the
context for each reading and links each successive chapter. This
text covers all the basic issues related to juvenile delinquency
and the justice system while presenting them in a manner that
allows students to render a solid conclusion about the issues
addressed by current delinquency research.
Twenty up-to-date readings provide broad overviews of serious
delinquency and the policy responses to it. The readings examine:
* The history of serious delinquency and official responses to
it.
* The nature and extent of serious delinquency at the present
time.
* Theories and predictors of serious delinquency.
* Juvenile justice responses: police, courts, and corrections.
* Youthful offenders in the (adult) criminal justice system.
* Effective prevention and rehabilitation programs for serious
offenders.
* Minority and female juvenile offenders.
Each reading presents a wide range of current, comprehensive, and
accurate information. Each also is edited so thatit focuses on the
most important points and is appropriate for undergraduate
students. An introduction by the editor points out the major themes
of the reading and ties those themes into a coherent, overall
theoretical framework for the book.
