For courses in Juvenile Justice and Juvenile Delinquency.

 

A market-leader, The Juvenile Justice System: Delinquency, Processing, and the Law explores all aspects of juvenile justice–from arrest, intake, adjudicatory hearings, dispositions and aftercare. Known for its depth of coverage, it maintains a legal emphasis and covers the legal rights of juveniles and landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases. Up-to-date tables, figures and statistics give readers the most current perspective of juvenile justice trends. Chapter-opening scenarios, personality highlights and career snapshots use personal accounts to capture the essence of what it means to be part of the juvenile justice system.
