Youth, crime, and justice: learning through cases (Second edition.)

Each of the twelve chapters in Youth, Crime, and Justice begins with a compelling case that illustrates the core concepts and real-life stories which frame the ongoing challenges of the societal institutions charged with meeting the needs of children and youth. These case studies are combined with a list of learning objectives, key terms, critical thinking questions, and lists of additional resources. New to this edition:

• Highlights significant, recent changes in juvenile justice across the U.S.
• Emphasis on recent scholarship on the victim-offender overlap and the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on delinquent outcomes
• Expanded discussions on youth-police relations, technology influences, and system impacts on youth of color, undocumented and immigrant youth, and LGBTQ+ youth

An open-access Companion Website for students is provided that includes interactive flashcards and other learning material.
