Juvenile Justice: Breaking the Cycle serves as a comprehensive overview of the juvenile justice system and helps the reader understand both its complexity and purpose. This book also examines the legal principles and rights afforded to juveniles within the justice system.
The text is divided into three main concepts:
- Part one focuses on defining delinquency, the history of the juvenile system and theoretical applications that can help explain how and why youth are affected by the criminal justice system.
- Part two navigates the system as you examine the role of the police, probation, and the courts. Case studies are also provided to accent key topics and explain certain juvenile behaviors.
- Part three explores the challenges of community treatment and how these environments are used in combating delinquency concerning youth.
