Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Valuable Collection
Review: For anyone interested in how courts deal with juvenile crime, and for anyone who thinks there must be a better way, read this book. Drawing upon the simple, yet profound idea that children do not turn into adults on a single day, the authors elaborate on the deficiencies of a legal system that is, in fact, largely based upon just that notion. The chapters help us to envision a legal system that would see adolescent development as a gradual and continuous process, and that would not allow prosecutorial ambition alone to determine which young offenders should be held criminally responsible for their actions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Once Again, the Grisso Approach is Most Thoughtful
Review: Read this book. Change the system.
