It serves as an excellent resources for the inquiring novelist as well as the experienced researcher. -- Riane M. Bolin, PhD, Assistant Professor , Radford University Macallair uses a mixture of legislative history, court rulings, factual accounts and public inquiries to lay bare the brutal history of California and the Nation's approach to juvenile delinquency from the gold rush to the present. California has spent millions of dollars on numerous investigations and commissions dating from the late 1800's through the 2015 report by the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice. In the words of the philosopher George Santayana those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Everyone involved in any aspect of the juvenile justice system needs to read this book. California is on a precipice: move forward and change, or doom the next generation to the same failures of the Houses of Refuge at the hands of Child Savers. May Macallair's account help Californians make the right choice. -- Andrea F. Joseph, New Mexico State University Author InformationDaniel E.
