Book Overview
The Cycle of Juvenile Justice takes a historical look at juvenile justice policies in the United States. Tracing a pattern of policies over the past 200 years, the book reveals cycles of reforms advocating either lenient treatment or harsh punishments for juvenile delinquents. Bernard and Kurlychek see this cycle as driven by several unchanging ideas that force us to repeat, rather than learn from, our history. This timely new edition provides a substantial update from the original, incorporating the vast policy changes from the 1990s to the present, and placing these changes in their broader historical context and their place within the cycle of juvenile justice. The authors provide a provocative and honest assessment of juvenile justice in the 21st century, arguing that no policy can solve the problem of youth crime since it arises not from the juvenile justice system, but from deeper social conditions and inequalities. With this highly-anticipated new edition, The Cycle of Juvenile Justice will continue to provide a controversial, challenging, and enlightening perspective for a broad array of juvenile justice officials, scholars, and students alike.

Plenty to learn in a tiny book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
For such a short book, I learned A LOT! This is a great intro book for anyone who wants to go into juvenile justice, either as an attorney or officer. The cases are synthesized with all of the important information that you need if you're headed into a court of appeals, or if you want to do your job right as an officer working with juveniles. This may even help you if you feel that your child, or one that you know, has had their rights violated. This is a great, cost-effective place to start.
