| 520 | 1 | |a "Chasing Shadows: Confronting Juvenile Violence in America, is a new book that examines issues that are not normally covered in a traditional juvenile justice or delinquency text. This work is an up-to-date, research-based text that focuses on current issues. This work does not attempt to mimic the larger texts that cover the entire juvenile justice system or extensive legal issues. Instead, it attempts to introduce the reader to fact-based examinations of some of the most current and controversial issues facing the United States dealing with juvenile violence. This book can serve well as the centerpiece to a special-topics or seminar-type course. | |
| 520 | 8 | |a As a secondary or supplemental text, it can provide additional material for a college or university course dealing with juvenile delinquency or juvenile justice issues. Chasing Shadows confronts juvenile violence in America by examining the research, philosophies, and practices of the United States juvenile justice system. This text also explores new ideas and different perspectives in which to view the current situation of juvenile related violence in America. This book beckons the reader to think beyond the traditional views of this pressing problem, and challenges them to investigate further."--Jacket. | |
