AMERICAN JUVENILE JUSTICE
ZIMRING
This volume makes a major contribution to criminology and the policy analysis of adolescence, presenting a justification for the category of the juvenile or a period of partial responsibility before full adulthood. At the heart of the book is an argument for a penal policy that recognizes diminished responsibility and a youth policy that emphasizes the benefits of letting the maturing process continue with minimal interruption. In this updated and expanded second edition, Zimring has included four new chapters with examinations on important topics including, US Supreme Court decisions of life sentences for minors, the elected use of juvenile courts over criminal court, punitive sex offender registration for juveniles, and appropriate tactics for juvenile justice reform.
