Reviews

'...the book lies in its clear outline of the differentiation between models of juvenile justice and the implications of the different models for the offender. The summary of the diagnostics tools available to the forensic decision maker is also extremely useful. However, the most impressive contribution of this book is in the excellent tables which provide succinct and accessible summaries of the major issues, which will be of interest not only to those system.' Legal and Criminological Psychology, 6 (2001)
