Juvenile delinquency is a broad area.
We will not be able to cover every aspect of it in great detail. Rather, we will focus on some of the major issues in the field and discuss current trends and possible future developments. We will cover what you need to know as we proceed through the course material. For those of you who do have some prior background knowledge and experience, you may find that you already know some of this information, but please bear with me. For some of your colleagues, this course represents their first exposure to the criminal justice field.
