This text for students, administrators, and professionals in juvenile justice features chapter objectives and discussion questions, and includes information on special populations such as girls.

Part 3 presents developmental, familial, and sociological theories of delinquency. Part 4, the bulk of the book, investigates juvenile justice treatment and policy alternatives, with material on prevention of youth suicide in juvenile justice settings, screening and assessment of mental health disorders, therapeutic jurisprudence and juvenile court, restorative justice, and community-based after-care.
