Juvenile justice: policies, programs, and services

Abstract

Because millions of adolescents become involved in criminal and delinquent acts each year, questions are raised about the effectiveness of punishments and juvenile offender treatment programs. Juvenile Justice examines the strengths and weaknesses of the juvenile justice system. Valuable information is provided about the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders in programs such as addiction treatment, family counseling, structured wilderness camps, group homes, aftercare, and restitution and victim-offender mediation. Includes over twenty contributors.
