Reviews

I think the strengths of this book lie in its comprehensiveness, the fact that it is well updated and current and uses recent examples throughout to highlight the issues. The text is organized in a manner that allows for optimal student learning. The correct mix of theory and practice has been achieved. The 'real-life' snapshots serve the purpose of gaining student interest in the topic. Major strengths include the breadth of coverage; the extensive use and variety of visual aids, graphs, charts, and photographs to supplement text; timely and interesting examples to illustrate concepts; and a refreshingly straightforward academic writing style. I chose this text because it is the most thorough in its coverage of the current research literature in juvenile delinquency, and the balanced discussion of research and policy controversies encourages students to think critically and evaluate evidence. Students like the textbook.
