Reviews

This volume forces readers to critically analyze the current discourse on how to respond to the offenses committed by youthful offenders and the needs of special populations within the juvenile justice system; it is an exceptionally comprehensive and well-researched look at the subject. This sourcebook offers both hope and concern about current policy and practice in the field of juvenile justice, while demonstrating how and why a multidisciplinary analysis of juvenile justice is needed, and providing a detailed look at how society has responded to youthful offenders throughout the history of the United States. This new edition upholds its undisputed standing as a reference for all those with an interest in juvenile justice and is a continued tribute to memory of Albert Roberts and the many contributions he made to the science of juvenile justice and reform. -Jose B. Ashford, PhD, Professor & Director of Office of Forensic SW Research &Training at Arizona State University This book is 'must reading' for students, practitioners, policymakers, and researchers interested in the juvenile justice system. Church, Springer, and Roberts have assembled an impressive group of scholars who describe evidence pertaining to the onset, prevention, and treatment of delinquency; and identify cutting-edge issues confronting the nation's juvenile justice system. This book offers a single source of information for readers interested in understanding the complexities associated with delinquent behavior, and for anyone interested in improving programs and policies aimed at enhancing the well-being of young people. This is a fantastic and comprehensive volume! -Jeffrey M. Jenson, PhD, Philip D. & Eleanor G.
