This book provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking
introduction to the juvenile justice system in the United States.
It begins by tracing the historical origins of the legal concept of
juvenile delinquency and the institutional responses that
developed, and analyzes the problem of delinquency, including its
patterns, correlates, and causes. With this essential foundation,
the greater part of the book examines the full range of efforts to
respond to delinquency through both informal and formal mechanisms
of juvenile justice. Core coverage includes: The history and
transformation of juvenile justice, The nature and causes of
delinquency, Policing juveniles, Juvenile court processes, Juvenile
probation and community-based corrections, Residential placement
and aftercare programs, Delinquency prevention, Linking systems of
care. This book is designed as a core text for courses on juvenile
justice. Each chapter begins with a compelling case study and
learning objectives that draw attention to the topics discussed.
Each chapter ends with one or two readings that introduce readers
to the literature on juvenile justice. In addition, "critical
thinking questions" invite analysis of the material covered in the
chapter. A companion website offers an array of resources for
students and instructors. For students, this includes chapter
overviews, flashcards of key terms, and useful website links. The
instructor site is password protected and offers a complete set of
PowerPoint slides and an extensive test bank for each chapter-all
prepared by the authors.
This book offers a comprehensive introduction to juvenile
delinquency by defining and describing juvenile delinquency,
examining explanations for delinquent behavior, and considering
contemporary efforts to control delinquency through prevention and
juvenile justice. The text cultivates an understanding of juvenile
delinquency by examining and linking key criminological theories
and research. Coverage includes: the historical origins and
transformation of "juvenile delinquency" and juvenile justice; the
nature of delinquency, addressing the extent of delinquent
offenses, the social correlates of offending and victimization
(age, gender, race and ethnicity, and social class), and the
developmental patterns of offending; theoretical explanations of
delinquency, with insights from biosocial criminology, routine
activities, rational choice, social control, social learning,
social structure, labeling, and critical criminologies;
evidence-based practice in delinquency prevention and contemporary
juvenile justice. Fully revised and updated, the new edition
incorporates the latest theory and research in the field of
juvenile delinquency and provides expanded discussion of
contemporary juvenile justice reform, evidence-based practice in
delinquency prevention, and disproportionate minority contact
throughout the juvenile justice process. This book is essential
reading for courses on juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice.
The book is supported by a range of compelling pedagogical
features. Each chapter includes key terms, learning objectives, an
opening case study, box inserts that provide practical application
of theory and research, critical thinking questions, suggested
reading, useful websites, and a glossary of key terms. A companion
website offers an array of resources for students and instructors.
