Despite declines in youth crime rates over the past twenty years, public perceptions of youth violence have contributed to widespread support for dismantling the juvenile court system and trying children as adults&38212;replacing rehabilitation with incarceration as the solution to juvenile delinquency. This collection debunks the argument that incarceration reduces crime and advocates social policy that seeks workable alternatives. The articles in Part I look at critical areas within the juvenile justice system, such as aftercare and the double standard that exists for girls. Throughout each selection, the issues of class and racial bias are underscored, along with gender bias. Part II offers specific recommendations for reform, emphasizing the need to think outside the box in seeking alternatives to secure confinement.Also by Randall G.

I thought this would be a more straightforward read. It has valuable insights, but it’s pretty academic and dry at times. I struggled to stay focused, but some parts did resonate with me.

Interesting but a bit dense
I found the content quite engaging, but some sections felt a little heavy with jargon. It’s packed with information, which is great, but it took me a while to get through it. Worth reading if you’re into policy analysis.

Insightful look into the system
This book really dives deep into the issues surrounding juvenile justice in America. I appreciated how it addressed both the problems and potential solutions. A must-read for anyone interested in social justice!

Great for research purposes
I bought this book for my sociology class, and it’s been super helpful for my research on juvenile justice. The case studies are particularly enlightening. I’m glad I picked it up!

Could use more examples
While the author raises important points about systemic issues, I wish there were more real-life examples to illustrate the concepts. It's a solid discussion starter, but a bit more depth would help.
