Book Description

February 22, 2001 0761986782 978-0761986782 2nd

Designed for undergraduate juvenile delinquency courses, this book actively involves students in the literature of the discipline, presents the field in a format that is accessible, understandable, and enjoyable, and is edited by well-known scholars who are experienced researchers and teachers.

Over 150 questions have been put together for the readings so that instructors can easily test, even in large courses, whether or not their students are keeping up with the reading.

A separate instructor’s manual (with more tests) is also available.

3.0 out of 5 stars recommended for juvenile deliquency courses, January 30, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Juvenile Delinquency: Readings (Paperback)
I purchased this book used from amazon seller at excellent price and brand new condition. It was required for a college course, I found some chapters to be boring but others were interesting and reading it helped me score a good grade in juv del course:)

I would recommend this book for somebody as a supplement text for juvenile deliquency courses, i do not think it was interesting enough for leisure reading and would not have read it had i not been taking course that recommended it.
