Juvenile Justice Sourcebook by Albert R. Roberts Pdf

Several million reported and unreported delinquent acts take place each year. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, juvenile delinquency, acting-out and oppositional behavior, illegal drugs, guns, and youth violence are pervasive throughout American society. Juvenile Justice Sourcebook is the first comprehensive volume devoted exclusively to the biopsychosocial assessment, police and juvenile court processing, and institutional and community-based treatment and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. The overriding objective of this sourcebook is to trace the tremendous progress achieved toward resolving juvenile justice issues, dilemmas, and controversies, while providing futuristic visions for the juvenile justice field. Each chapter, authored by preeminent expert practitioners and researchers, explores topics ranging from innovative counseling and multisystemic programs, to restorative justice, to rehabilitation programs such as aggression replacement training, wilderness programs, family treatment, substance abuse treatment, restitution, and aftercare. This volume, grounded in history and exhaustive research, presents the latest evidence-based policies, programs, and innovative treatment alternatives. Examining the entire juvenile justice system, including juvenile law, policies, practices, and research, the Juvenile Justice Sourcebook will be invaluable to all juvenile justice practitioners, policy analysts, researchers, and students.

Centennial Sourcebook on Selected Juvenile Justice Literature, 1900-1999 by John C. Watkins Pdf

This is a research reference work in juvenile justice literature spanning the twentieth century. It is intentionally selective given the massive volume of printed matter that has accumulated in this field since 1900. The main indexes include Part One: Book Index; Part Two: General Periodical Index; Part Three: Legal Periodical Index; Part Four: Secondary Source Index; and Part Five: Government Publications and Miscellaneous Index. While not fully exhaustive, Watkins provides the scholar, jurist, practitioner, student, or general investigator a broad entree into the literature of juvenile justice from the early years of the juvenile court up to and including the significant changes in juvenile law and practice during the last tumultuous decade of the twentieth century. It is transdisciplinary in content, focusing attention on the numerous fields that have contributed to the literary tapestry in juvenile law over ten decades.

Juvenile Justice and Delinquency by David Springer,Albert Roberts Pdf

Traces the progress toward resolving critical juvenile justice and delinquency issues, and to provide cutting-edge intervention strategies to effectively rehabilitate juvenile offenders and prevent delinquency. The 21 chapters in this book are divided into four sections. Part I provides an overview of juvenile delinquency and the juvenile justice system. In this section, we examine historical, political, legal, and arrest delinquency trends and consider comprehensive community planning as one strategy for improving the juvenile justice system. Part II explores early crime prevention strategies, effective programs to reduce antisocial behavior and school bullying, and the powerful relationship between school performance and juvenile delinquency. Part III examines and critiques a range of developmental, familial, and sociological theories that are commonly used to explain and understand juvenile delinquency. Finally, in Part IV, we examine a range of juvenile justice treatment and policy alternatives, including mental health screening and assessment, suicide prevention, evidence-based intervention models, police responses and strategies to delinquency, drug and mental health courts, therapeutic jurisprudence, restorative justice, female delinquency, and community-based after-care.
