«This book is unique and valuable in that before introducing the chapter material on causes and consequences of juvenile justice system involvement, it introduces students to real-life cases of youths who have faced this experience. Giving students this human context allows them to gain a deeper understanding of what it is really like for youth in trouble. This is an excellent, brief, and easy-to-read textbook for those who prefer to prompt critical thinking and discussion in class.»
