This textbook provides a thorough, clear introduction to the
American juvenile justice framework. It investigates how

how criminal justice research directly shapes modern policy.
The book is chronologically structured across 12 core
chapters that track a youth's trajectory through the system:
The Foundation: Explores the history, theories of
delinquency, and specific legal rights assigned to minors.
The Processing Pipeline: Details police interaction, initial
intake, prosecutorial choices, and juvenile court waivers.
Sanctions and Care: Analyzes adjudication options,
diversion programs, probation, and custodial containment.
