Juvenile Justice
G. Larry Mays
Representing the U. S. juvenile justice system in a logical
chronological format
Juvenile Justice provides the most recent and detailed information about a broad range of topics. The balanced presentation gives key insights from political science
public administration
sociology
criminology
and criminal justice as well as the important historical backdrop. Carefully dealing with all the major processing points and agencies
Juvenile Justice covers all the pressing issues that are confronted within the contemporary system.\n\nAn engaging and realistic vignette opens each chapter to stimulate thinking and classroom discussion
and its implications are woven throughout the chapter. The exceedingly readable narrative explains basic terms and concepts along with valuable historical background. Three themes
woven throughout the materials
given students a solid understanding: the role of theory as a tool to describe
understand
predict and control delinquency; how appreciating the historical background can give insight into future practices; and the importance of globalization in a world increasingly interconnected by the Internet and social media― international perspectives are included in every chapter.
Juvenile Justice
The war on women was a term coined during the 2012 election cycle that referred to attempts to pass legislation that would limit women's rights
from control of women's bodies (with a particular focus on birth control
abortion
and the aftereffects of rape) to equal pay for women and their rights in the workforce (M. E. Gilman
2014). One arena in which evidence of such a war's impact on women may be assessed is behind and in front of the blue curtain of policing. To what extent
then
does policing reflect culture that supports and facilitates a war on women? We review arrest trends for female offenders
discuss police responses to crimes against women
and examine policies and practices that may improve understanding of the criminal justice system's role in this war. We find evidence of changes in police perspectives
actions
and policies toward women as perpetrators and victims of crime. Specifically
at the same time that police undertook more aggressive enforcement efforts against certain types of female offenders
resulting in trends for women that were often the reverse of those for men
there was an absence of similar attention to laws and policies protecting women as victims.
