4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed but dense book, May 14, 2011

I'm using this book for my senior seminar class, which discusses issues in the juvenile justice system. I think this book would also be perfect for a juvenile delinquency class.

- Detailed. The book covers a lot of topics and detail in only so few pages. There is a lot material so it will take some time to sit down and digest all the information.

- Deceptively short. The book itself is only 384 pages, but the font is relatively small and is singled space. I find myself feeling like I'm reading the condensed small paperback versions of a novel. Personally for me, I had eye strain reading this book. It's not too bad though; I just wish the font and spacing could have been more user-friendly.

- Roller coaster of a book. I found myself enjoying certain parts, and then some parts the authors went on and on when it could have been explained more concisely. Some of the more engulfing and captivating parts of the book is when brutal cases of juvenile crimes are explored.

Overall, solid book, with some sequences of the book that are difficult to read.
