Especially significant are the tolls that trauma and inequality take and the ways the participants are caught up in the California juvenile justice system, despite its intended focus on rehabilitation. The book ends with concrete experiences from Latinas who have been able to leave the criminal justice system and those who have not—highlighting Flores's main finding that increased contact with criminal justice agencies reduces the possibilities of escaping from them.\" * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003e\"This worthy work deserves a caring examination as it helps us to understand the consequences of the frightening accelerated fusion between education and the criminal justice system for Latina girls.
