Juvenile Justice in America (8th ed.) provides an in-depth look at the lives of juveniles,
their experiences in society, and the consequences of those experiences. The text carefully
examines the structures, procedures, policies, and problems of American juvenile justice
agencies. The Eighth Edition places further emphasis on delinquency prevention, and features a
new chapter on juvenile offender populations to give readers a more comprehensive view of
delinquents. Boxed features in every chapter highlight the practical realities of working in the
juvenile justice system. The careful balance of theory, evidence-based findings, and practical
applications gives readers the most up-to-date insight into the state of juvenile justice in America
today.
This edition is available with REVEL, an interactive learning environment that
enables students to read, practice and study in one continuous experience. Fully digital and
highly engaging, REVEL offers an immersive learning experience designed for the way today's
students read, think, and learn. Enlivening course content with media interactives and
assessments, REVEL empowers educators to increase engagement with the course, and to better
connect with students.
The instructor’s manual begins with an outline of the chapters to assist with lecture
preparation. Following the chapter outlines, there is a list of videos relevant to juvenile justice
topics. Finally, there is a test bank that includes multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank,
matching, essay, and critical thinking questions that cover the information in each chapter. New
questions have been added and others edited either for the sake of clarity or to cover added new
materials.
Chapter 1 is introductory and provides readers with the information necessary to begin
studying juvenile justice. In particular, it summarizes the history and journey of juvenile justice
in the United States. The structure and procedures of juvenile justice agencies are presented and
then it concludes with an examination of the various philosophies and strategies for correcting
juveniles.
Chapter 2 begins by covering crime trends and how data is categorized, measured, and
reported. The methods, benefits, and limitations of self-reporting is discussed, followed by an
interpretation of the variables and patterns of offending. The chapter concludes with an analysis
of evidence-based policy and the prevention of delinquency
Chapter 3 starts by summarizing the principles and influences of the classical school of
criminology. Biological theories of juvenile crime and delinquency are described, as well as
psychological and sociological theories. The importance of the theory of delinquency across the
life course is explained and the chapter finishes with coverage of integrated theories.
Chapter 4 outlines the various explanations for why adolescent females become involved
in offending. Feminist theory is described as well as the relationship between adolescent female
and male offending. How gender affects the processing of adolescent females is discussed and
the chapter concludes by identifying the relationship between class and delinquency.
Chapter 5 summarizes the history of police-juvenile relationships, the police’s attitudes
toward juveniles, and the juveniles’ attitudes toward the police. Police discretion is discussed as
well as how police process juveniles. The legal rights of juveniles and how police agencies are
structured to deal with juvenile crime are described. The chapter concludes with a summary of
developing trends in how police deal with juveniles.
