The first of its kind to integrate theory and "real-world" application in juvenile delinquency, this practical, state-of-the-art text addresses today's most current developments and issues, with probing examinations of: 1) the extent, nature, and origins of American juvenile delinquency; 2) the factors in contemporary life that generate or influence delinquency; and 3) the juvenile justice process and methods for controlling , treating, and preventing delinquency. Presenting a balanced and realistic portrayal of delinquency in the 1990s, the book reports trends and changes in American society and American life related to delinquent behavior, with discussions on the emergence of an "underclass", effects of the mass media, the crisis in American education, the rise in dysfunctional families, sharp increases in serious and violent delinquency, gang formation, violence in the schools, and more. It considers the arenas of juvenile interaction where problems of unacceptable behavior may arise, i.e., the family the school, peer groups, and the community, and studies the incidence of child physical and sexual abuse and the characteristics of its perpetrators. For juvenile institution staff members and treatment personnel; also ideal for case workers, family counselors, and social workers.

Juvenile Delinquency: Concepts and Control (6th Edition)

Schram, Pamela J.

Teen & Young Adult

Close to 60,000 civil lawsuits are filed annually against criminal justice practitioners. This increasing litigation poses a significant problem for law enforcement and other personnel who must ensure they are performing their legal duties within the boundaries of case law. In brief, they not only need a working knowledge of criminal law but a firm grasp on the civil law process as well. Civil Liability in Criminal Justice provides valuable advice and protection to future officers and correctional system employees, introducing them to civil liability generally and the federal law specifically, while indicating steps that can be taken to minimize risks. The text clearly outlines the specific precedents to which both individual staff members and entire agencies must adhere and provides court decisions in common and high-liability areas. This text is one of few on the subject that combines applicable case law and related liability research, a valuable new feature for current and future policy makers and managers. It also provides an overview of current case law in high- liability areas, enhancing student knowledge and practitioner job performance. An enhanced ancillary package now offers support to both students and their instructors as they work to master this complex topic. Exercises based on ethical dilemmas and evidence-based assessments of likely trouble spots in organizational training and policy prepare the reader to avoid costly legal action in the complex worlds of policing and corrections.
