A good review of the juvenile justice field,
By
This review is from: Preventing and Reducing Juvenile Delinquency: A Comprehensive Framework (Paperback)
I used this book in a Juvenile Deliquency course. It is packed with important information, theoretical orientations, and Howell spends much time addressing the history of the field and JD in general. I found the book to work very welll for the more professional orientated students in the class. For example, I had a couple of police officers who really liked the book because it addressed some very practical issues they were facing every day. Other, less experienced, students were a little put off by the small print and the textbook format. The book is also a little repetitive, and the same topics are are addressed in different places in the book. Although it was published in 2003, many of the statistics are outdated which is a shame. I would love to see a revised and/ or a condensed edition.
