Overview
This introductory text (for practitioners from virtually every discipline who work within the juvenile justice system) provides information and skill-building exercises across a range of practice. Its breadth should provides the new or aspiring practitioner with a foundation for future work. In the first chapter, the authors identify many of the roles played by practitioners in various parts of the system, including direct practitioners, administrators, advisors, advocates, and researchers, and the ways in which practitioners in these roles interact. The text presents students with an overview of assessment as well as how the client's assessment can be addressed during the intervention process. Later students are taught to apply what has been learned in the previous chapters to culturally-sensitive, gender-sensitive, and developmentally sensitive intervention.
