Summary

This work offers a comprehensive and detailed look at the way youthful offenders have been treated throughout U.S. history. While the book is somewhat repetitious and overly focused on male transgressors, its century-long look at juvenile justice is essential reading for all children's rights advocates. Indeed, as the United States veers toward the adult sentencing of adolescent offenders, it offers an important assessment of options and consequences
