Its twelve chapters are divided into two parts. Part I contains six chapters where the problem of delinquency itself is defined-primarily the nature, extent, and explanation of juvenile offending. Part II contains six chapters that describe formal social control of juvenile offending-primarily the components of the "juvenile justice system," current juvenile justice issues, and reform efforts. Part I describes what delinquency is exactly, how much of it occurs (and its relative seriousness), why it happens, and why it doesn't happen (social control). Since there are many possible causes of delinquency that operate in complex ways, three chapters are dedicated to them. These chapters focus on theories and factors that receive significant research support. Much attention is given to life course and developmental theories, given their prominent place in contemporary criminology and that child development has long been a focus in understanding delinquency. Part II describes what the juvenile justice system is doing, and possibly should do, to solve the problem of delinquency. Here, a major feature of the book is that it goes beyond formal justice system structure and processes (policing, courts, and corrections) to address the major role that human/social service workers and agencies play in juvenile justice processes. This is important as most system-involved juveniles are not serious chronic offenders deeply entangled in the system; most are sanctioned in the community and may deal more with social service agents. Social services also play a major role in treating serious offenders. Thus, much attention is given to treatment and rehabilitation issues. Further, broader issues of social justice and human rights are addressed. Unique to this book is a chapter (Chapter 11) devoted solely to juvenile justice reform"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction : what is delinquency? -- Extent of delinquency : how bad is it? -- "Causes" of delinquency : characteristics of individuals and their environments -- "Causes" of delinquency : social processes -- "Causes" of delinquency : life course processes -- Informal social control -- A brief history of juvenile justice in the United States -- Policing juveniles -- Juvenile court -- Juvenile corrections -- Juvenile justice reform : a human rights perspective -- Current issues in juvenile justice. 650 0 $a Juvenile justice, Administration of $z United States. 650 0 $a Juvenile delinquents $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Juvenile delinquency $z United States. 650 7 $a Juvenile delinquency. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985320 650 7 $a Juvenile delinquents $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985396 650 7 $a Juvenile justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985472 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a DeTardo-Bora, Kimberly A., $e author. 700 1 $a Reddington, Frances P., $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Johnson, Lee Michael. $t Juvenile delinquency and justice in the united states. $d Durham, North Carolina : Carolina Academic Press, LLC, [2020] $z 9781531008680 $w (DLC) 2020020232 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526020454.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FCFC4BF2323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
