Preventing and Reducing Juvenile Delinquency : A Comprehensive Framework

Rating:
Summary: Most comprehensive coverage of juvenile justice available
Review: Dr. James Howell's book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date source currently available on the American juvenile justice system. Chapters cover the causes and correlates of delinquency, various parts of the juvenile justice system, what works and what doesn't to prevent and reduce delinquency, and presents compelling arguments about why a separate juvenile justice system (distinct from the adult justice system) should be retained. A must-read/must-have one-stop source.
