Sommario/riassunto |
|
Juvenile justice policies have historically been built on a foundation of myths & misconceptions, everything from the fear of young, drug-addled superpredators to suspicion of immigrants. Barry Krisberg sets out to debunk the myths & advocate a fresh approach in the U.S. juvenile justice system. |
