Fully focused on the important issues, emerging trends, solid research base, and the special challenges facing juvenile justice today, this comprehensive exploration of the American juvenile justice system covers the history, philosophy, current practices for processing youthful offenders, detention of juveniles, and the diversion of youth from the juvenile justice system. Unique in its approach, it gives readers an “up-close and personal” view of the personal, psychological and thinking processes that characterize juvenile misbehavior. The book describes the jobs and problems of those practitioners in the justice system that work with youths and the workings of the important components of the juvenile justice system that bring both together. Topics include an overview of juvenile justice, measurement of crime and victimization, court, trial and disposition, juveniles in adult court, juvenile Probation, community-based corrections, institutionalization, research and theory, treatment technologies and International juvenile justice.

Authorized biography of the fourth director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons that describes the leadership traits that enabled Norman A. Carlson to direct the agency in an exemplary fashion during a time of great change and growth. Based on more than 80 interviews and an analysis of what makes the Bureau of Prisons work efficiently and effectively, this book identifies how Carlson was able to work with staff, inmates, Congress, and the judiciary. It explains how he handled riots, training (including the establishment of the National Institute of Corrections), the Witness Protection Program, and mentoring future leaders, and how in his retirement he still is playing a role in shaping the professionalization of corrections.
