<p>This outstanding new Eighth Edition is thoroughly rewritten and revised and is completely reset in type. POLICE WORK WITH JUVENILES AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUVENILE JUSTICE has made a unique contribution to the juvenile justice literature for four decades. It is a scholarly treatise on the subject emphasizing a philosophical approach. However, it addresses the principal issues and concepts with a practical orientation, making it an invaluable resource for both students and practitioners. The book has from its inception in 1954 highlighted the police role and functions with interrelationships between community agencies, the courts and correctional agencies emphasized. Each component of the juvenile justice system is treated in a meaningful manner. This edition focuses upon the issues of changes taking place in the juvenile justice system. The substantial increases in juveniles responsible for crimes of violence has continued the transformation of the juvenile court toward a criminal court. The past two decades has reversed the rehabilitation movement toward that of punishment for juvenile offenders. The legislatures have responded with tougher laws. Current research into chronic juvenile recidivism suggests that a multiple agency approach including family support coordinated by probation may be the only realistic way to "save" juvenile offenders from lives of crime. New in this edition is fuller treatment of the role and functions of the juvenile court judge and a more detailed historical perspective of the juvenile court. Each chapter has been preceded by "Chapter Objectives" and "Key Concepts" to provide the reader a quick overview of chapter content. A long-awaited and needed Eighth Edition.</p>
