Description
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.

Reviews / Votes
"This volume forces readers to critically analyze the current discourse on how to respond to the offenses committed by youthful offenders and the needs of special populations within the juvenile justice system; it is an exceptionally comprehensive and well-researched look at the subject. This sourcebook offers both hope and concern about current policy and practice in the field of juvenile justice, while demonstrating how and why a multidisciplinary analysisof juvenile justice is needed, and providing a detailed look at how society has responded to youthful offenders throughout the history of the United States. This new edition upholds its undisputed
standing as a reference for all those with an interest in juvenile justice and is a continued tribute to memory of Albert Roberts and the many contributions he made to the science of juvenile justice and reform." -Jose B. Ashford, PhD, Professor & Director of Office of Forensic SW Research &Training at Arizona State University
"This book is 'must reading' for students, practitioners, policymakers, and researchers interested in the juvenile justice system. Church, Springer, and Roberts have assembled an impressive group of scholars who describe evidence pertaining to the onset, prevention, and treatment of delinquency; and identify cutting-edge issues confronting the nation's juvenile justice system. This book offers a single source of information for readers interested in
understanding the complexities associated with delinquent behavior, and for anyone interested in improving programs and policies aimed at enhancing the well-being of young people. This is a fantastic and
comprehensive volume!" -Jeffrey M. Jenson, PhD, Philip D. & Eleanor G. Winn Professor for Children and Youth Graduate School of Social Work, University of Denver
"The Juvenile Justice Sourcebook (2nd ed.), which provides an in-depth look at the concepts and practices related to the juvenile justice system, is one of the most comprehensive and progressive sources available. Discussions of evidence-based treatment models, the uses and abuses of the latest adolescent brain research, drug and mental health courts for youths, gender- and culturally- specific models, restorative justice, and other innovative
developments are highlighted by intriguing case examples. I highly recommend this book to faculty teaching in the juvenile/criminal justice and social work fields." -Katherine van Wormer, PhD, Professor of Social Work
at the University of Northern Iowa; author of Working with Female Offenders: A Gender-Sensitive Approach
