Youth, Crime, and Justice : Learning through Cases Hardback
by Erika Gebo, Carolyn Boyes-Watson
Part of the Learning through Cases series
Hardback
Description
Youth, Crime, and Justice is a comprehensive introduction to juvenile justice through a unique case-study approach.
Each chapter opens with an engaging case, followed by an explanatory chapter that teaches core concepts, key terms, and critical issues.
This accessible textbook covers the historical evolution of the core institutions charged with the socialization, guidance, and regulation of children and youth in the modern era, including the family, schools, communities, child welfare, and the juvenile justice system.
Adopting a life course perspective, the book examines the changing legal, social, and political landscape of childhood and adolescence in America.
The authors take an intersectional focus, examining the dynamics of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, power, and privilege.
The book discusses the juvenile justice system, including police, courts, corrections, and recent community innovations, in relation to the latest research on positive youth development and best practices. A complimentary Instructor's Manual and Test Bank are available, as well as an open-access Companion Website for students that includes interactive flashcards and other learning material.
