Juveniles possess less maturity, intelligence, and competence than
adults, heightening their vulnerability in the justice system. For
this reason, states try juveniles in separate courts and use
different sentencing standards than for adults. Yet, when police
bring kids in for questioning, they use the same interrogation
tactics they use for adults, including trickery, deception, and
lying to elicit confessions or to produce incriminating evidence
against the defendants. In Kids, Cops, and Confessions, Barry Feld
offers the first report of what actually happens when police
question juveniles. Drawing on remarkable data, Feld analyzes
interrogation tapes and transcripts, police reports, juvenile court
filings and sentences, and probation and sentencing reports,
describing in rich detail what actually happens in the
interrogation room. Contrasting routine interrogation and false
confessions enables police, lawyers, and judges to identify
interrogations that require enhanced scrutiny, to adopt policies to
protect citizens, and to assure reliability and integrity of the
justice system. Feld has produced an invaluable look at how the
justice system really works.
Winner, 2020 ACJS Outstanding Book Award, given by the Academy of
Criminal Justice Sciences A major statement on the juvenile justice
system by one of America's leading experts The juvenile court lies
at the intersection of youth policy and crime policy. Its
institutional practices reflect our changing ideas about children
and crime control. The Evolution of the Juvenile Court provides a
sweeping overview of the American juvenile justice system's
development and change over the past century. Noted law professor
and criminologist Barry C. Feld places special emphasis on changes
over the last 25 years-the ascendance of get tough crime policies
and the more recent Supreme Court recognition that "children are
different." Feld's comprehensive historical analyses trace juvenile
courts' evolution though four periods-the original Progressive Era,
the Due Process Revolution in the 1960s, the Get Tough Era of the
1980s and 1990s, and today's Kids Are Different era. In each
period, changes in the economy, cities, families, race and
ethnicity, and politics have shaped juvenile courts' policies and
practices. Changes in juvenile courts' ends and means-substance and
procedure-reflect shifting notions of children's culpability and
competence. The Evolution of the Juvenile Court examines how
conservative politicians used coded racial appeals to advocate get
tough policies that equated children with adults and more recent
Supreme Court decisions that draw on developmental psychology and
neuroscience research to bolster its conclusions about youths'
reduced criminal responsibility and diminished competence. Feld
draws on lessons from the past to envision a new, developmentally
appropriate justice system for children. Ultimately, providing
justice for children requires structural changes to reduce social
and economic inequality-concentrated poverty in segregated urban
areas-that disproportionately expose children of color to juvenile
courts' punitive policies. Historical, prescriptive, and
analytical, The Evolution of the Juvenile Court evaluates the
author's past recommendations to abolish juvenile courts in light
of this new evidence, and concludes that separate, but reformed,
juvenile courts are necessary to protect children who commit crimes
and facilitate their successful transition to adulthood.
This Nutshell focuses on the criminal and non-criminal misconduct
of children that bring them within the jurisdiction of juvenile
courts. It examines how police, parents, schools, courts, and other
agencies respond to that misconduct. It addresses children's rights
during the investigation and prosecution of youths for delinquency
and status-offenses. Like all Nutshells, it provides a succinct
exposition of the law for students studying juvenile justice, for
lawyers who do not regularly practice in juvenile court, and for
legislators and policy officials involved in juvenile justice law
reform efforts.

Over the last two decades, researchers have made significant
discoveries about the causes and origins of delinquency.
Specifically, we have learned a great deal about adolescent
development and its relationship to decision-making, about multiple
factors that contribute to delinquency, and about the processes and
contexts associated with the course of delinquent careers. Over the
same period, public officials have made sweeping jurisprudential,
jurisdictional, and procedural changes in our juvenile justice
systems. The Oxford Handbook of Juvenile Crime and Juvenile Justice
presents a timely compilation of state-of-the-art critical reviews
of knowledge about causes of delinquency and their significance for
justice policy, and about developments in the juvenile justice
system to prevent and control youth crime. The first half of the
handbook focuses on juvenile crime and examines trends and patterns
in delinquency and victimization, explores causes of delinquency-at
the individual, micro-social, and macro-social levels, and from
natural and social science perspectives-and their implications for
structuring a youth justice system. The second half of the handbook
concentrates on juvenile justice and examines a range of
issues-including the historical origins and re-invention of the
juvenile court; juvenile offenders' mental health status and
considerations of trial competence and culpability; intake,
diversion, detention, and juvenile courts; and transfer/waiver
strategies-and considers how the juvenile justice system itself
influences delinquency. The Oxford Handbook of Juvenile Crime and
Juvenile Justice provides a comprehensive overview of juvenile
crime and juvenile justice administration by authors who are all
leading scholars involved in cutting-edge research, and is an
essential resource for scholars, students, and justice officials.

Written by a leading scholar of juvenile justice, this book explores the social and legal changes that have transformed the juvenile court in the last three decades from a nominally rehabilitative welfare agency into a scaled-down criminal court for young offenders. It explores the complex relationship between race and youth crime to explain both the Supreme Court decision to provide delinquents with procedural justice and the more recent political impetus to "get tough" on young offenders. This provocative book will be necessary reading for criminal and juvenile justice scholars, sociologists, legislators, and juvenile justice personnel.
Within the past three decades, judicial decisions and legal changes have transformed the juvenile court from a nominally rehabilitative welfare agency into a scaled-down criminal court for young offenders. Barry Feld's Bad Kids explores the complex relationships between race and youth crime to explain both the Supreme Court decision to provide delinquents with procedural justice and the more recent political impetus to "get tough" and "crack down" on young offenders.
