Juvenile Justice : Theory, Systems, and Organization

For undergraduate courses in Juvenile Justice and Juvenile Justice Administration.

This text integrates criminological theory, organizational theory and management theory to present a comprehensive introduction to the juvenile justice system and how it interfaces with other institutions in the community.

By examining the system in this manner, the text demonstrates how the system sometimes fails to serve youth in need, and presents a framework for working within the system to more effectively serve youth and the community.
