Juvenile Delinquency

Clemens Bartollas

Macmillan Coll Div

Fully focused on the important issues, emerging trends, solid research base, and the special challenges facing juvenile justice today, this comprehensive exploration of the American juvenile justice system covers the history, philosophy, current practices for processing youthful offenders, detention of juveniles, and the diversion of youth from the juvenile justice system. Unique in its approach, it gives readers an “up-close and personal” view of the personal, psychological and thinking processes that characterize juvenile misbehavior. The book describes the jobs and problems of those practitioners in the justice system that work with youths and the workings of the important components of the juvenile justice system that bring both together. Topics include an overview of juvenile justice, measurement of crime and victimization, court, trial and disposition, juveniles in adult court, juvenile Probation, community-based corrections, institutionalization, research and theory, treatment technologies and International juvenile justice. For those interested in a comprehensive overview of the juvenile justice system.
