Reviews
?Twenty years after publication of the first edition, this remains the definitive source for understanding both the experiences that bring girls into the orbit of the juvenile justice system and the system itself. This immensely valuable book should be required reading for anyone studying or working in juvenile justice.? ?Marjorie S. Zatz, Arizona State University ?Instructors of criminal justice or criminology looking for a textbook on the girl delinquent would be hard pressed to find a more comprehensive and brilliantly delivered one than Chesney-Lind and Shelden?s Girls, Delinquency, and Juvenile Justice. The fact that it is now in its 4th edition speaks volumes about how well it has been received by members of the academy. Both authors are known nationally and internationally as highly regarded experts on girl delinquents and this comes through in the pages of this textbook.? ?Barbara Sims, Mars Hill University
