Review

"The major strengths of this textbook is its comprehensiveness and in-depth presentation of all of the major topics in juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice." "This book does a good job of covering what I believe to be the key areas in juvenile delinquency. The book is generally effective in covering the important theories of the causes and correlates of juvenile delinquency, and I like the fact that there are separate chapters on Gender, Gangs, and Drug Use." "The terms, concepts and writing in this text is very good. Examples are used to reinforce the text."
