Review:

"[A] well researched and thoughtful account of what has and has not worked in juvenile justice practice in the USA in recent years....This concise, yet persuasively argued, book is likely to continue to be a valuable volume of comparative data for many students of juvenile justice as well as
practitioners and academics in the field."--British Journal of Criminology

"In a fascinating manner, the book brings together some great content in each chapter....Every member of academia and students of crime and delinquency would be well advised to utilize this resource."--International Journal of Contemporary Sociology

"Evaluates research and policies directed at delinquency in a manner that classifies the issues analytically while explaining issues in a way the layman can appreciate."--Daniel K. Quinn, Adrian College

"A clearly worded text that blends theory with practice. Lundman's writing is concise and interesting. He evaluates various approaches to juvenile delinquency from both a theoretical as well as practical basis in a fashion accessible to students."--Herbert C. Corey, University of Colorado,
Boulder

From reviews of the first edition:

"An excellent, compact review of some of the best and most famous evaluation research on intervention programs for juvenile delinquents....Would serve admirably in a course dealing in any way with social control of juvenile misconduct."--Contemporary Sociology
