The authors of the 20 chapters in Juvenile Crime and Justice
address various hotly debated topics along three loosely connected
themes: prevention, prosecution, and corrections. Each author
presents arguments both in favor of and opposed to various
treatments, programs, and punishments, examining issues such as
youth curfews, juveniles in adult courts, legal representation for
juveniles, juvenile boot camps, group homes, out-of-home placement,
and more. The chapters included cover the leading arguments
pertaining to key topics in this field and point out where more
research needs to be done which, at present, includes many of the
most controversial issues in juvenile justice policy.
The Series

Issues in Crime & Punishment Series "offer examinations of
controversial programs, practices, problems or issues from varied
perspectives. Volumes correspond to the five central subfields in

Policing, The Courts, Corrections, and Juvenile Justice.
Each volume consists of approximately 20 chapters offering
succinct pro/con examinations, and Recommended Readings conclude

on the issue at hand. As a set, these volumes provide perfect
reference support for students writing position papers in
undergraduate courses spanning the Criminal Justice curriculum.
Each title is approximately 350 pages in length."
