Juvenile justice has been and remains a topical issue at national
and international levels. There are various standards and
guidelines for administration, but six major models characterize
juvenile justice systems worldwide: participatory, welfare,
corporatism, modified justice, justice, and crime control. Juvenile
Justice: International Perspectives, Models, and Trends presents
contributions by authors from different countries in all five
continents employing these six models. The book begins with a
comprehensive overview of the topic and the various international
standards and guidelines designed to inform juvenile justice
practices. This introduction is followed by chapters on individual
countries covered independently by resident experts, allowing
readers to appreciate a range of comparisons and to critically
reflect on the relative merits of the different models. Topics
presented in each chapter include: The country's history of
juvenile justice The nature and status of delinquency Current
legislation on juvenile justice How well the legislation complies
with the Standard Minimum Rules of the Administration of Juvenile
Justice as defined by the United Nations The type of juvenile
justice model followed Age limits for male and female juvenile
offenders Legal and social issues confronting juvenile offenders
Current theoretical biases used to explain and justify response to
delinquency Future issues, challenges, and/or initiatives Text
boxes supply current and relevant examples to contextualize key
issues and themes. Each chapter features discussion questions and
helpful web links to facilitate further research. Presented in an
unbiased manner, the book is a consolidated yet comprehensive
overview of juvenile justice models and practices worldwide. It
enables readers to compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of
different juvenile justice models/systems and to evaluate all
countries in light of the larger international phenomena of
delinquency.
This text presents an international approach to the study of crime
prevention. It offers an expansive overview of crime prevention
initiatives and how they are applied across a wide range of themes
and infractions, from conventional to non-conventional forms of
crime. Based on a review of the literature, this is the first text
to offer a broad, yet comprehensive, examination of how and why
crime prevention has gained considerable traction as an alternative
to conventional criminal justice practices of crime control in
developed countries, and to provide a cross-sectional view of how
crime prevention has been applied and how effective such
initiatives have been. Crime Prevention: International
Perspectives, Issues, and Trends is suitable for undergraduate
students in criminology and criminal justice programs, as well as
for graduates and undergraduates in special topics courses.
