A painful view of the current state of juvenile justice in the
United States is presented in this volume which asks whether the
′children′s court′ has outlived its usefulness. As pressure builds
to handle more children in adult courts and to consign them to
adult prisons, the authors explore alternatives to the custodial
treatment of juveniles and suggest how the juvenile justice system
can, and should, be reformed.
