Juvenile Justice: An Introduction, Eleventh Edition

presents a comprehensive picture of juvenile offending, delinquency theories, and the ways juvenile justice actors and agencies react to delinquency.

Whitehead, Lab, and Rocheleau offer evidence-based suggestions for successful interventions and treatment and examine the prospects for rebalancing the model of juvenile court.

This new edition includes insightful analysis and the latest available statistics on juvenile crime and victimization, drug use, court processing, and corrections.

Special attention is given to female involvement, disproportionate minority contact, and diversity issues.

Each chapter enhances student understanding with Key Terms, a What You Need to Know section, and Discussion Questions.
