description: "Teenagers behind bars speak out here in their own voices - often inarticulate, sometimes painfully honest and brutal, and sometimes shockingly detached. All talk about the frustrations and the personal and family limitations that brought them to this point. These interviews, as well as thoughtful comments from a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and other experts, stress positive approaches. Illustrated with photographs. Epilogue includes summary, Brief History of Juvenile Delinquency (Middle Ages to America). Special Programs, National Resources."
