Description

Book Synopsis
Historically, it has been difficult to measure the impact of policies and programs designed to address juvenile crime. The most commonly used strategies for combating juvenile delinquency have primarily relied on intuition and fads. This book presents methods that can remedy these deficiencies in our juvenile justice system.

Trade Review
"In Changing Lives, Peter Greenwood sifts through a massive and disparate body of literature on delinquency prevention programs to identify those programs that appear to have promise. In the course of this study, he never shies away from making candid assessments about why policymakers have continued to support ineffective programs." - Barry Krisberg, president, National Council on Crime and Delinquency"
