Reviews

With chapters on China, India, Latin America, Africa, and beyond, Juvenile Justice in Global Perspective is truly global in a way that no previous work has been. Besides being a hugely useful resource, though, the book also triggers important theoretical debates on the purpose and lasting value of separate systems of juvenile justice internationally. It should be widely read. -Shadd Maruna, author of Making Good: How Ex-Convicts Reform and Rebuild Their Lives
