Title: Encyclopedia of juvenile justice
Description: "The Encyclopedia of Juvenile Justice presents an unbiased examination of the current state of juvenile justice. Editors Marilyn D. McShane and Frank P. Williams III are joined by a collection of academic theorists and real-world practitioners to chronicle the theories, concepts, and practices of juvenile justice.

The entries frame juvenile justice issues in their historical context, showing that in order to effectively address contemporary problems there must be an understanding of where the field has been.".

"The Encyclopedia of Juvenile Justice addresses such topical issues as: alcohol and drug abuse, sexual abuse, the death penalty for juveniles, computer and Internet crime, gun violence, gangs, missing children, school violence, and delinquency theories. Each entry successfully synthesizes a large body of knowledge, making it understandable to those who work in or are interested in the field."--BOOK JACKET.
