This book will expand students' understanding of the evolution of juvenile justice in the last 50 years. Designed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the landmark case, In re Gault, which the Court decided in 1967, the authors frame the developments and transformations that have occurred in the intervening years. Topics covered include an overview of the dramatic changes to field following the spike youth violence in the 1990s, the 'superpredator' myth, and sanctions for juvenile offenders-particularly the 2005 abolition of the death penalty and subsequent decision on life without parole. The book also covers child and youth victimization and recent prevention and treatment initiatives
