Book Description
This study, first published in 1978, compares the ways in which the systems in England, Scotland and the United States balance the necessity of meeting childrenā€˜s needs against the protection of their rights. Three approaches to juvenile justice are identified; the criminal justice, the welfare, and the community approach. This book will be of interest to students of sociology, criminology and social work.
