Great read

I had to read this book for my "Juvenile Delinquency" (SOC383) class at BYUI. Our teacher chose specific chapters he wanted us to read, but I read the entire thing because I WANTED TO! This book honestly is hard to put down. It has so many theories on why delinquents are the way they are. You may think you know it all, but you don't! This book goes over everything. If you are any type of Sociology, Psychology, or Social Work major, or if any of those are your profession then you NEED to read this book. It opens up a whole new way of thinking. I would definitely recommend it!
