Overview

Studying and understanding human behavior in society and societal reaction to human behavior is not enough. Juvenile Justice: Connecting Theory to Practice looks closely at some of society's most vulnerable members - troubled youth. This text draws concrete connections between theory and practice, two sometime disjunct realms. It discusses classic and prominent theories that directly relate to the practice of juvenile justice. Juvenile Justice is divided into four sections: Defining and Measuring Delinquency - this section provides an in-depth definition of this phenomenon. Understanding Delinquency - gives a presentation of several key perspectives and theories to help unravel the mystery of the etiology of juvenile delinquency in American society. Practicing Juvenile Justice - takes readers from initial system contact with police, through the juvenile justice system's intake, diversion, adjudication and placement processes. Challenges and Directions for the Future - explores the most critical challenges facing juvenile courts such as the victimization of youth and gang violence.
