Harvard University Press Rethinking Juvenile Justice
Book SynopsisWhat should we do with teens who commit crimes? Two leading scholars in law and adolescent development argue that juvenile justice should be grounded in the best available psychological science, which shows that adolescence is a distinctive state of cognitive and emotional development.Trade ReviewAmerica's justice system has become increasingly punitive toward our teenagers during past 25 years. Terrifying terms like "super predator," "zero tolerance" and "vicious youth gangs" are part of our everyday speech. But as Scott and Steinberg show, new neuroscientific and psychological evidence challenges the punitive approach. The book combines rigorous science and impeccable legal scholarship, with forceful prose, to argue for a wholesale reform of the juvenile justice system. -- Terrie Moffitt, Duke University and King's College LondonScott and Steinberg, leading figures in juvenile law and adolescent developmental psychology, have joined forces to argue that now is the moment to reconstitute, in a completely original way, how America deals with juvenile crime and juvenile offenders. At once deeply learned and altogether pragmatic, Rethinking Juvenile Justice is one of the most transformative books this field has seen in the past 20 years. -- John Monahan, Shannon Distinguished Professor of Law, University of VirginiaThe subject of juvenile justice breeds extreme responses. The academic sensibility is extremely lenient, seeing misguided kids who need understanding and help more than punishment. The legal system is mindlessly punitive: juvenile defendants in the US are treated more harshly than adults elsewhere in the Western world. In the midst of this crazy conversation, Scott and Steinberg are voices of sanity. Their wholly novel approach to juvenile crime will make equal sense to judges, juvenile advocates, and urban police forces. This book is a terrific example of what speaking truth to power, effectively, looks like. -- William Stuntz, Harvard Law SchoolThis multidisciplinary book is exactly what policy makers should consult when thinking about ways to change a system that is in dire need of repair. -- D. S. Mann * Choice *What distinguishes this book from other writings in the field are not the proposals made, which are relatively modest, but rather the developmental sophistication with which they are defended. And in the end, the hard questions the book raises are not about juvenile justice policy, but rather about the interrelationship between law and science. Offering us the gold standard in legal-developmental collaboration, it presses us to consider the role the developmental sciences should play in shaping the law affecting children...What makes the book so valuable is that it can be relied upon by judges, legislatures, lawyers, and policymakers to enhance the sophistication with which they consider the very issues that they are currently being called on to decide. In this sense, Rethinking Juvenile Justice is a complete success. Lawmakers already look to Scott and Steinberg's earlier work when they address how the law should respond to juvenile crime, and this book should only enhance the sophistication of those lawmaking efforts...Rethinking Juvenile Justice promises to enhance the sophistication of those addressing juvenile justice policy on a broad range of issues. -- Emily Buss * University of Chicago Law Review *[Scott and Steinberg] believe that new juvenile justice reforms that publicize available scientific developmental data and empirical data demonstrating savings in recidivism and costs due to keeping kids in the juvenile system will be successful. They believe that we can avoid the demolition of the courts or at least staunch the loss of so many young offenders from the courts' jurisdiction...This book is one of the very few works that provides legal and developmental analyses and offers politically savvy advice about implementing a successful legislative strategy...This is a book that everyone should read. -- Lucy S.

Springer International Publishing AG Collaborating Against Child Abuse: Exploring the
Book SynopsisThis book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.This edited collection explores the background and implementation of the Nordic Barnahus (or 'Children's House') model – recognised as one of the most important reforms related to children who are the victims of crime in the Nordic region. This book discusses both its potential to affect change and the challenges facing it. The model was introduced as a response to a growing recognition of the need for more integrated and child-centred services for children exposed to violence and sexual abuse. In the Barnahus structure, different professions work together to ensure that victimized children receive help and treatment and that their legal rights are met. This original study is organised into four broad themes: child-friendliness, support and treatment; the forensic child investigative interview; children’s rights perspectives; and interagency collaboration and professional autonomy. Each themed section includes in-depth chapters from different Nordic countries, outlining and analysing the practice and outcomes of the collaborative work engaged in by Barnahus from different perspectives. The introductory and concluding chapters offer a comparative lens useful for policy and practice implementation within the Nordic welfare state context and beyond, ensuring this book has global academic and practical appeal.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Implementing the Nordic Barnahus Model.- Theme I: Child-Friendliness, Support and Treatment.- Chapter 2: Staging a Caring Atmosphere.- Chapter 3: To be Summoned to Barnahus.- Chapter 4: Treatment in Barnahus.- Theme II: The Forensic Child Investigative Interview.- Chapter 5: The Nordic Model of Handling Children`s Testimonies.- Chapter 6: The NICHD Protocol.- Chapter 7: Investigating Suspected Child Abuse at the Forensic Psychology Unit for Children and Adolescents.- Chapter 8: Sequential Interviews with Preschool Children in Norwegian Barnahus.- Theme III: Children’s Rights Perspectives.- Chapter 9: Child Friendly Justice.- Chapter 10: Children’s Right to Information in Barnahus.- Chapter 11: The Swedish ‘Special Representatives for Children’ and their Role in Barnahus.- Theme IV: Interagency Collaboration and Professional Autonomy.- Chapter 12: Power Dynamics in Barnahus Collaboration.- Chapter 13: Exploring Juridification in the Norwegian Barnahus Model.- Chapter 14: The Establishment of Barnahus in Denmark.- Chapter 15: Barnahus for Adults?.- Chapter 16: Epilogue: The Barnahus model.

Oxford University Press Inc The War on Kids
Book SynopsisIn 2003, when he was sixteen, Terrence Graham and three other teens attempted to rob a barbeque restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida. Though they left with no money, and no one was seriously injured, Terrence was sentenced to die in prison for his involvement in that crime.As shocking as Terrence''s sentence sounds, it is merely a symptom of contemporary American juvenile justice practices. Today in this country, adolescents are routinely transferred out of juvenile court and into adult criminal court without any judicial oversight. Once in adult court, children can be sentenced without regard for their youth. Juveniles are housed in adult correctional facilities; they may be held in solitary confinement; and they experience the highest rates of sexual and physical assault among inmates. Until 2005, children convicted in America''s courts were subject to the death penalty; today, they still may be sentenced to die in prison - no matter what efforts they make to rehabilitate themselves. Trade ReviewConcluding with Drinan's suggested reforms to the juvenile justice system as it exists in America, The War on Kids accomplishes its stated ends. Drinan successfully articulates and explains, through the use of empirical data and real-world examples, the shortcomings of American juvenile justice. * Kamryn Gallardo, Journal of Youth and Adolescence *this book is highly recommended for readers who are interested in an accessible yet comprehensive book about the juvenile justice system in the U.S. * Rong Bai and Robert Fischer, Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare *This is a well-written book that conveys the harsh reality of criminal justice practices and legal doctrines in a way accessible to non-lawyers and the broader public. * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter One: Pioneer to Pariah: The Arc of American Juvenile Justice Chapter Two: Crime as a Child's Destiny Chapter Three: Legal and Policy Paths to Juvenile Incarceration Chapter Four: Life While Down Chapter Five: Progress and Hope from the Nation's High Court Chapter Six: The Uneven and Unpredictable Path of Implementation Chapter Seven: A War for Kids

Oxford University Press Inc The Myth of the Community Fix Inequality and the
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe Myth of the Community Fix takes its reader deep into the guts of youth criminal reform that transfers justice to counties which in turn subcontract it to private foundations and operators. We discover how, in the name of "reform," administrative devolution translates into increased punishment, reduced rights, continuing abuse, and public irresponsibility while reinforcing individualized conceptions of crime. Cate makes an original contribution to the sociology of the penal state that is sure to stimulate further research and public debate. * Loïc Wacquant, author of Punishing the Poor and The Invention of the "Underclass" *The Myth of the Community Fix is a crucial and timely intervention in the criminal justice reform conversation in the United States. Cate uniquely analyzes juvenile justice policy alongside trends in the US political economy. The case studies of popular bipartisan reforms in California, Pennsylvania, and Texas reveal that our long-term disinvestment in public goods leads local governments and community-based organizations to maintain or expand carceral capacity in the name of reform. This book challenges anyone concerned about mass incarceration to craft solutions that disrupt punitive political culture rather than reinforce the status quo. * Heather Schoenfeld, author of Building the Prison State *Sarah Cate's rich analysis shows how the community-control movement in juvenile justice reproduced the same problems of state-based institutions, but with even less political accountability. Situating juvenile justice reform within transformations in American political economy, such as privatization and welfare retrenchment, Cate reveals that devolution of juvenile institutions from state to county level control has been part of, not an alternative to, divestment from the public sector. This book is a devastating indictment of community-control models and a call to action for meaningful investment in public goods. * Lisa Miller, author of The Myth of Mob Rule *It is recommended for libraries serving departments of political science, social work, and sociology. * Choice *Table of ContentsIntroduction: The Limits of the Community-Based Reform Movement: Evidence from Pennsylvania, California and Texas Chapter 1: Abandoning Public Goods: The Turn to Community in the Context of Inequality Chapter 2: Devolution, Not Decarceration: Expanding Punishment Closer to Home Chapter 3: Privatizing Punishment: Consequences of Foundation-Led Policymaking Chapter 4: The Individual Focus: The Limits of Behavioral Solutions to Structural Problems Chapter 5: Still Punitive: Rationalizing Punishment for the 'Worst of the Worst' Conclusion: Bringing Public Goods Back In References Index

The University of Chicago Press Delinquency in a Birth Cohort Studies in Crime
Book SynopsisDelinquency in a Birth Cohort is a turning point in criminological research in the United States, writes Norval Morris in his foreword. What has been completely lacking until this book is an analysis of delinquency in a substantial cohort of youths, the cohort being defined other than by their contact with any part of the criminal justice system. This study of a birth cohort was not originally meant to be etiological or predictive. Yet the data bearing on this cohort of nearly ten thousand boys born in 1945 and living in Philadelphia gave rise to a model for prediction of delinquency, and thus to the possibility for more efficient planning of programs for intervention. It is expert research yielding significant applications and, though largely statistical, the analysis is accessible to readers without mathematical training. No serious scholar of the methods of preventing and treating juvenile delinquency can properly ignore this book.LeRoy L. Lamborn, Law Library Journal The magnitude

Taylor & Francis Ltd Delinquency and Drift Revisited Volume 21
Book SynopsisFifty years ago, David Matza wrote Delinquency and Drift, challenging the ways people thought about the development of criminals. Today, Delinquency and Drift Revisited reminds criminologists that they ignore Matzaâs writings at their own intellectual peril. Matzaâs work shows his insights on a range of core criminological issues, such as: the complex nature of culture and its connection to criminality; the extent to which rule-breakers are truly different from the rest of us; the importance of focusing on human agency in understanding the subjective side of offending; the interaction of propensity and peer influences in criminal involvement; the role of the state in signifying individuals as deviant and entrapping them in criminal roles; and the processes that lead offenders to desist from crime. This volume was not written to pay homage to Matza, but to show how his ideas remain relevant to criminology today by continuing to question conventional wisdomTrade ReviewLittle did I expect in 1964 that Delinquency and Drift would remain an important work more than half a century later. It is heartening that the ideas expressed continue to have relevance for today's study of crime and delinquency. I enjoyed reading the volume, and I hope others will as well. —David Matza, Professor Emeritus, University of California, BerkeleyFor those unfamiliar with David Matza’s work, this thoughtful collection serves as an essential introduction. For those who know his work—or think they do—it serves as a reminder of how important Matza’s contribution has been. This is a timely and welcome exploration of the work of one of the most enduring criminologists of our time. —Elliot Currie, Professor, University of California, IrvineThe aptly titled volume Delinquency and Drift Revisited: The Criminology of David Matza and Beyond is a remarkable tribute to the importance of the work of David Matza to both the development and future of the conceptualization of deviance and crime. While many festschrifts glorify the past and emphasize the contributions of a scholar’s work to the present, the essays in this volume provide a framework for innovative future research in diverse areas based on Matza’s insights.—Marvin Krohn, Professor, University of Florida Table of ContentsContentsPrefacePart I.

This updated and revised edition is designed to be essential reading for general readers, undergraduate students in the fields of criminology and sociology, and those preparing to embark on degree courses in these fields. Written by field-leading experts from across the globe and designed for those who want a clear and exciting introduction to the complex areas of crime and deviance, this book provides short overviews of a wide range of social problems, harms and criminal acts, offering a series of cutting-edge and critical treatments of issues such as war and terrorism, incels and the alt-right, ecocide, trolling, hate crime and chemsex. A guide is also given to further readings and films to develop the reader's understanding of these issues. This new edition has beTrade ReviewAs with the first edition of this remarkable and indispensable book, this thoroughly revised second version pushes readers to broaden the way they think about deviance and social harm in modern societies—and to recognize the connections between the behaviors that often trouble us the most and the increasingly precarious and neglectful character of the contemporary global social order. Professor Elliott Currie, University of California, Irvine, USAA collection of fascinating insights into acts of deviance so wide and varied that conformity appears to an increasingly rare commodity. However, as the chapters in this volume attest, even as we become more diverse we are ever more policed. A book for our times.Professor Danny Dorling, University of Oxford Shades of Deviance is a thought-provoking collection bringing together short essays on a vast range of issues that are viewed in contemporary society as ‘deviant’, ‘harmful’, or ‘criminal’. Questioning the value of mainstream approaches which prioritise a focus on state defined problematic behaviours, this second edition collection includes 60 entries with new topics and authors covering low level issues such as yarnbombing to the more serious —such as terrorism and child soldiers. Written in a thoroughly engaging and accessible manner, this introductory text is a must read for all criminology students. Professor Christina Pantazis, University of BristolQuestions of deviance lie at the heart of criminological inquiry. The breadth and sociological curiosity that informs this book make it both a useful and highly enjoyable introduction to the topic. It will be a useful companion to students of criminology and several other social science disciplines. In fact, it creates a real danger that it will convert the latter into the former.

The juvenile justice process and the system’s response to juvenile delinquency are clearly outlined. I also appreciate how the authors interweave the juvenile justice landmark cases into the discussion. The book also discusses restorative justice as an alternative approach to dealing with juvenile delinquency.Another positive for me is the in-depth coverage of the theories explaining delinquency. While students in this course (usually sophomore or junior) would have already taken their theory course (Criminology) in their second semester, many do not recall even hearing about these theories. This gives me a chance to present this to them a second time."Sherill Morris-Francis, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Graduate Coordinator, Mississippi Valley State UniversityTable of Contents1.

McFarland & Company Violence in the Media and Its Influence on
Book Synopsis How much are today''s youth actually influenced by violence in the media? People who would never dispute the positive influence of programs like Sesame Street are reluctant to acknowledge that other programming may do harm. As early as the 1930s, however, parents were expressing concerns about the content of various media, including radio and comic books. Today, almost every violent crime perpetrated by a young person is probed for evidence of media influence, often while other contributing factors are ignored. With an in-depth look at media violence and its possible influence on young viewers, this book examines how the media made me do it defense has affected today''s courtrooms. Highly publicized cases such as those of Lionel Tate and Joshua Cooke, both of whom used media influence (television wrestling and The Matrix, respectively) as part of their defense, are discussed in detail.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Redefining School Safety and Policing
Book SynopsisRedefining School Safety and Policing identifies and works to eliminate systemic issues in school policing that negatively impact students of color, LGBTQIA+ students, and other marginalized populations. Focusing on the fundamental goal of creating safe learning environments, Yarbrough lays out the unintended consequences of involving police in the administrative disciplinary process, as agents of school administrators and enforcers of zero-tolerance policies. Behavioral health support is important to students going through social, emotional, and mental health crises.

He has researched youth cultures in Dublin and published numerous journal articles in the field of cultural criminology.Trade ReviewThe book is well written and a pleasure to read … Understanding Street Culture is an important text for academics, researchers, and criminal justice stakeholders interested in understanding how young peoples’ street cultural existences are regulated and thrust into contact with the law.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Reaffirming Juvenile Justice From Gault to
Book SynopsisThis book will expand students' knowledge and understanding of the evolution of juvenile justice in the last 50 years. Designed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the landmark case In re Gault, which the U.S. Supreme Court decided in 1967, the authors provide a brief history of juvenile justice, then frame the developments and transformations that have occurred in the intervening years. Topics covered include an overview of the dramatic changes to the field following the spike in youth violence in the 1990s, the superpredator myth, zero-tolerance policies, and sanctions for juvenile offendersparticularly the 2005 abolition of the death penalty and subsequent decision on life without parole. The book also covers child and youth victimization and trauma, and recent prevention and treatment initiatives.Designed for upper-level undergraduates, this text reflects on the evolving U.S. juvenile justice system while anticipating future challenges andTrade ReviewAlida Merlo and Peter Benekos provide a compelling account of how science, ideology, and politics have shaped the evolution of juvenile justice policy. In a comprehensive and compassionate way, they illuminate the mistakes of the past as a way of showing progressive avenues for future reform. Scholarly but accessible, Reaffirming Juvenile Justice is both an essential reference book and ideal for courses focusing on wayward youths. --Francis T. Cullen, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, University of CincinnatiFifty years after the landmark Gault decision revolutionized juvenile justice, Merlo and Benekos undertake a sweeping and comprehensive review of that system. Reaffirming Juvenile Justice powerfully documents legal decisions and key policy debates in the decades that followed. A must-read for those concerned about how the United States treats its most vulnerable youth. --Meda Chesney-Lind, Professor of Women's Studies, University of Hawaii at ManoaMuch has happened since the Gault case was decided some fifty years ago—so much so that it can be hard to keep up with the relevant research and case law spanning multiple disciplines. Fortunately, Merlo and Benekos have done us a huge favor. This book situates the recent developments amidst a backdrop of juvenile justice issues, summarizing key developments, and anticipating the future. From scholars whose careers have been focused on key policy questions, I have no doubt you will learn as much as I have in reading this book. --Alex R. Piquero, Ashbel Smith Professor, The University of Texas at DallasReaffirming Juvenile Justice: From Gault to Montgomery is a well written and informative textbook. The authors provide an in-depth and comprehensive coverage of a range of issues including constitutionality, culpability, and system responses facing the juvenile justice system as well as challenges such as legal defense, disproportionate minority youth contact/involvement with the system, and conditions and the length of confinement. Couched within a historical context, the discussion of the role(s) that political ideology and the media play into the construction of the imagery of youth further sheds light on the complexities involved in the responses to and treatment of juvenile delinquents.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Moral Foundations of the Youth Justice System
Book SynopsisWhen is it fair to hold young people criminally responsible? If young people lack the capacity to make a meaningful choice and to control their impulses, should they be held criminally culpable for their behaviour? In what ways is the immaturity of young offenders relevant to their blameworthiness? Should youth offending behaviour be proscribed by criminal law? These are just some of the questions asked in this thoughtful and provocative book.In The Moral Foundations of the Youth Justice System, Raymond Arthur explores international and historical evidence on how societies regulate criminal behaviour by young people, and undertakes a careful examination of the developmental capacities and processes that are relevant to young people's criminal choices. He argues that the youth justice response needs to be reconceptualised in a context where one of the central objectives of institutions regulating children and young people's behaviour is to support the interests aTrade Review'This text makes a valuable contribution to contemporary youth justice with its thoroughgoing analysis of a much neglected issue.
