Trade Review"This book systematically reviews, dissects, and makes sense out of what are currently disparate bodies of information dealing with difficult legal issues, assessments of treatment interventions, complex research findings, and confusing policy questions. In Double Jeopardy, [Grisso] has provided a road map and guidance to the entire field for our continuing efforts in the future to fulfill our obligation to society and to these youths." - Joseph J. Cocozza, director, National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice"
